Supreme Court of Connecticut

Reserve Realty, LLC v. Windemere Reserve, LLC

April 4, 2023346 Conn. 391

Summary

The court held that the commercial listing agreements satisfied the statutory requirement that they specify the duration of the brokerage authorization because their duration was measurable by reference to an objectively defined triggering event. It nevertheless affirmed the judgments for the defendants because the agreements were personal service contracts requiring the named broker's personal performance and therefore terminated upon her death before any commission-generating sale or lease occurred.
