Garg v. Toll Brothers CA4/3
Om Garg, representing himself, appeals from a judgment entered after the trial court granted the summary judgment motion of respondent Toll Brothers, Inc. Garg claimed that Toll Brothers owed him $70,000 as a commission on a house bought by his daughter in a Toll Brothers development. The agreement to pay a commission was, however, contingent on Garg’s possession of a valid real estate license at the time of execution. It is undisputed that Garg’s real estate license had expired and that he did not renew it until a few months later.
The trial court granted Toll Brothers’ motion for summary judgment on the ground that Garg’s failure to have a valid license automatically terminated the agreement. Garg’s arguments that Toll Brothers waived the requirement or that it subsequently ratified the agreement were unavailing.
