Question
I agreed with someone to sell my apartment, and then I backed out of the sale for various reasons, but the buyer had already paid a lawyer for preparing the contract. Do I need to compensate him for the damage?
Answer
The seller who backed out of the sale is obligated to pay all the attorney's fees that the buyer incurred because of him in vain.
