111 P. 391 | Okla. | 1910
Plaintiffs in error by their petition in the court below seek to recover from defendants in error for services alleged to have been rendered by them as real estate brokers to defendants in error in the sale of certain real estate. Defendants in error defend against the action upon the grounds that they had no contract of employment with plaintiffs; that plaintiffs had rendered them no services as alleged; and that the property sold by defendants was upon an agreement that the price paid should be net to them. From a judgment in favor of defendants in error, this appeal is prosecuted.
The first assignment of error urged for reversal complains of an instruction given, but the record does not disclose that either objection was made or exception taken thereto by plaintiffs in error, and it cannot therefore be considered.Everett v. Akins,
The second assignment complains of an instruction given, upon the ground that there was no evidence upon which to base it. To consider this assignment would require us to review the evidence, but the case-made contains no recital or averment that it contains all the evidence introduced at the trial. In the absence of such recital in the case-made, we cannot consider any question depending upon the facts for its determination (Wagoner v. Sattley Mfg. Co.,
Complaint is made of the court's refusal to give plaintiff's requested instruction No. 6, but the matters contained in said instruction are fully covered by other instructions given, some of which were given at the request of plaintiffs; and there was no error in the refusal of the court to give this instruction.Woodmen of the World v. Welch,
Plaintiffs' complaint that the court refused to give an instruction requested by them to the effect that, in order to entitle a real estate broker to his commission, it is necessary to find a purchaser who is ready, able, and willing to purchase upon the terms agreed upon, but, where the agent finds a purchaser and introduces him to the owner and a sale is actually consummated, though upon different terms, still the broker is entitled to a commission for such services. The instruction as requested has no application to the evidence in this case or to the issues involved as made by the pleading or to the theory upon which the case was tried. The jury was instructed that it was sufficient to entitle plaintiffs to recover their commission, if the sale was effected through their agency as its procuring cause, although the sale was made by the owners of the property, if by the exertions of plaintiffs the purchaser and the owners were brought together, and a sale resulted therefrom. Defendants did not defend against any liability on the ground that the sale was consummated at a different price from that at which it was listed with plaintiffs, or at which they offered to sell same. Their sole contention as to the price is that the price at which they sold the property to the purchaser and which was agreed upon in the presence of plaintiffs was that it should be a net price to them. An instruction to the effect that, if the jury found that plaintiffs had rendered services in *220 procuring a purchaser ready, able, and willing to buy the property, plaintiffs would be entitled to recover, unless they found that it was the agreement between plaintiffs and defendants that the price for which the property was sold was to be net to the defendants, not including plaintiffs' commission, might have been permissible, if it had been requested; but the instruction requested and refused does not submit this proposition, and it is not applicable to the facts or issues involved.
Since the errors assigned that can be considered are without merit, the judgment of the trial court is affirmed.
All the Justices concur.
