Description
Defendant Chelco Corporation (Chelco) appeals from a judgment entered on a verdict for plaintiff in his action to recover a real estate broker's commission allegedly for obtaining a tenant for Chelco's property. The issues presented are that (1) the verdict was against the manifest weight of the evidence; (2) the jury was improperly instructed as to (a) plaintiff's burden of proof in establishing his authority and (b) the definition of procuring cause; and (3) the trial court erred in permitting plaintiff to impeach his own witness on the issue of procuring cause. In a cross-appeal, plaintiff contends that the trial court erred (1) in denying leave to amend his complaint by adding a claim for a monthly management commission allegedly owed under his employment contract; and (2) in denying him prejudgment interest. Plaintiff's original complaint alleged in substance that he was a licensed real estate broker associated with defendant Building Management Corporation (Building Management), 1 which acted as agent of Chelco, and that he secured the Walter Frank Organization, Inc. (Walter Frank), as the tenant for Chelco's property located at 3201 West Randolph, Bellwood, Illinois (the building) — for which he was entitled to a commission. The record also indicates that Building Management is a real estate management corporation and that Chelco is a real estate holding company having title to several buildings.
