Read 12.8, page 268, a Question of Ethics, about Jerry Seinfeld and his wife, Jessica. Answer the questions.
(1) Should the court order Seinfeld’s to pay Cohen? If so, is she entitled to a full commission even though she was not available to show the townhouse when the Seinfeld’s wanted to see it?
(2) What obligation do parties involved in their business deals owe to each other with respect of their religious beliefs? How might the situation in this case have been avoided?
I believe that the court should order the Seinfeld’s to pay Cohen. The reasons why I say this is because without Cohen’s help the Seinfeld’s wouldn’t have found the townhouse, and by having Cohen show the Seinfeld’s the townhouse gave her entitlement to compensation, she contributed in the process of what a realtor does. With an Oral agreement enforced there should have been confirmation of it, but in this type of circumstances instead of an oral agreement it is particularly best to have a written agreement on paper instead. In addition, with Cohen being a professional real-estate agent she was highly aware of all the fundamentals and certain terms on percentages of certain properties. It even states that Cohen addressed Sanchez the amount owed to her and Sanchez agreed to that amount. With that said, I believe there was also an agreement on brokerage fees whether it is 5 or 6 percent. With Cohen addressing about her religious beliefs this shouldn’t be put against her. Also Cohen even left a voice message, informing the Seinfeld’s of here absence for a couple days, and when she will be back. I believe everyone needs a break from work and takes personal days; no one should have to work all the time so to me it is understandable to what Cohen did. With that said, I believe the Seinfeld’s do owe Cohen compensation for her help on the town house, and that just for her taking a few days off put against her. To me that’s just absurd, if she informed them in a rude manner it would be a
