BRA Wide Reaching ALL of Ontario

Question:

I was approached by a Buyer. He signed a BRA, that says “All of Ontario”. Is that legal? The other agent isn’t anywhere near here.

Answer:

There mere fact that it says "Ontario" does not mean that it is unenforceable. This is rather common with commercial transactions.

For example, a Commercial Agent may not take on a restaurant chain at a reduced commission unless it is promised all the business. Of course, that might mean local sub–agents.
