| In relation thereto, we have held that the term "procuring cause" in describing a broker's activity, refers to a cause originating a series of events which, without break in their continuity, result in the accomplishment of the prime objective of the employment of the broker producing a purchaser ready, willing and able to buy on the owner's terms.[17] To be regarded as the "procuring cause" of a sale as to be entitled to a commission, a broker's efforts must have been the foundation on which the negotiations resulting in a sale began.[18] Verily, Estrada was instrumental in the sale of the Maxicare health plans to Meralco. Without her intervention, no sale could have been consummated. | |||||
