Member Legal Services has added three new cases to the Real Estate Brokerage Cases of Interest page on C.A.R. Online, Michel v. Palos Verdes Network Group, Inc. (2007), Nguyen v. Tran (2007), and Horning v. Shilberg (2005). Michel deals with the fiduciary duty of a buyer’s broker; Nguyen discusses the C.A.R. arbitration paragraph when a buyer’s broker wants to compel arbitration against a buyer and the listing brokers; and Horning addresses a claim for commission when a real estate broker represents himself as the buyer, among other issues. There is a summary of each case as well as a link to the actual text of the case.
Member Legal Services has published a revised legal article, Equity Sharing (March 11, 2008). It is available on Legal's What's New and the Legal Articles pages on C.A.R. Online.
