minimum commission Explanation: Instead of trying to translate literally, suppose we think laterally. For his pains yy is to be paid. If the client does not pay, this in no way negates the fact that yy has done work and it is not his fault that the client has reneged. In such cases yy is to be paid something. It will have to be a minimum amount for yy to be interested in the deal in the first place. If we say minimum commission I feel that the context is served by it. If the client had paid, yy would perhaps have got a percentage. In its absence he gets a lesser amount but he surely gets it. |
