This
case began when an animal advocate got word that these
abandoned animals were about to be further displaced by the imminent tearing down
of the trailer park and development
of the
property.
In some
cases, buildings within 250 to 1,500 feet
of an
abandoned property can have their values negatively affected by the presence
of the vacant real estate.
Finely v. Amyot (285 A.D. 2d 946)- non jury trial judgment dismissing broker's complaint affirmed; mere introduction
of the
property to the ultimate purchaser is insufficient to make out a
case for a commission; where broker's listing agreement expired but the seller and broker agreed that broker would continue his efforts to show the seller's
property, the broker must be the procuring cause
of the sale; broker is not the procuring cause where he merely introduced the ultimate purchaser to the
property and severed his relationship with the seller at the initial showing, thereby
abandoning efforts to bring about a meeting
of the minds between the parties
