Commission contract clause tying commission solely to contract conclusion is invalid if contracts lack value.

The court ruled that a commission clause dependent exclusively on the conclusion of a contract is invalid when those contracts hold no value for either party. The plaintiff argued that the defendant's agent should not receive a commission if the resulting bank-client agreements were worthless, while the defendant contended that the mere act of signing constituted the basis for payment. The court agreed, holding that the contractual link must have substantive value to justify the commission.
