Question on Monetary Laws

Question

Hello! I signed an agreement with a friend regarding a process with the National Insurance for a disability allowance. He received a commission for one child. Later, I submitted independently for another child. He approved it and asked me not to use the same doctors, but I did use them, meaning I violated the agreement. Am I obligated to pay the full commission stated in the agreement, or is he only entitled to compensation for the breach of the agreement, since the doctors are not his private property and I did all the work myself... I would appreciate an answer from the rabbi.

Answer

The response of the Beit Din under the leadership of our teacher, the Gaon, Rabbi Amram Fried, shlita:

If in the initial agreement there was no signed commitment not to use doctors for another child, then there is no need to pay except for something related to bringing the doctors, etc.
