Culver v. A. A. Gambill Realty Co.
Supreme Court of Alabama · Decided April 1, 1926 · PER CURIAM.
107 So. 917; 214 Ala. 375; 1926 Ala. LEXIS 10 (Southern Reporter)

Culver v. A. A. Gambill Realty Co.

Opinion of the Court

PER CURIAM.

The vendor and purchaser having entered into a valid t and binding contract, and the vendor having agreed to pay the broker’s’eommission,'the question of prior agency became immaterial. - Such is the effect of the ruling of this court on a. reconsideration of this cause. Culver v. A. A. Gambill Realty Co., ante, p. 84, 107. So. 914.

It may properly be here added also that the effect of the former opiniop is that, under the undisputed proof as ¿ppears in the opinion of the Court of Appeals (107 So. 909), the plaintiff is entitled to. the affirmative charge.

The statement in the last opinion of the Court of Appeals to the effect that the question of agency is one to be. submitted for the jury’s determination is, it seems,, a misinterpretation of the opinion heretofore rendered by this court. What is herein stated suffices for another trial of the cause.'

The writ will be denied.

All the Justices concur.
