““* * * This rule, however, is subject to limitations. The agent must have dealt fairly with his principal, and if he presents a person known to be incapable of performance and fails to disclose this or other pertinent facts to his principal, he is guilty of fraud and bad faith and forfeits his right to compensation. Francis v. Baker, 45 Minn. 83 , 47 N. W. 452 ; Meyer v. Keating L. & M. Co. 126 Minn. 409 , 148 N. W. 452 ; Lowrie v. Christenson, 165 Minn. 181 , 206 N. W. 390 ; Sinna v. Sperry Realty & Inv. Co. 181 Minn. 183 , 232 N. W. 5 . When such circumstances are present, the principal may show the prospective purchaser’s lack of financial worth; his inability or failure to perform the contract; and, where a contract has been executed prior to discovery of such information, that it would not have been executed had the true facts been known and was cancelled by consent of the parties thereto immediately upon discovery thereof. No liability for the agent’s commission arises when such facts are established. Martinson v. Hensler, 132 Minn. 437 , 157 N. W. 714, 991 ; Meyer v. Keating L. & M. Co. supra.””
