I'm not sure how the trial court could make such a basic error. sw19  Everyone sw19 with even a rudimentary knowledge sw19 of real estate law knows that a broker owes fiduciary duties to his client.  So when a real estate broker serves as a dual agent for the buyer and seller -- even when a different salesperson with the broker represents sw19 each party -- that doesn't diminish the duty.  The broker owes the duty and each salesperson with the broker owes the duty. How the trial court couldn't figure that one out is beyond me.  Regardless, it's not beyond the Court of Appeal.   Which reverses and remands . The trial court granted sw19 a nonsuit on the ground that the broker couldn't be liable for the acts of the "seller's" salesperson that violated its fiduciary duty to the buyer, and gave similar jury instructions.  Not so.  To repeat:  Everyone's got a duty. Sometimes your successful persuasion of the trial court simply imperils your subsequent victory in front of the jury.  That's exactly what happens here.
