These are consolidated appeals from a final judgment and award of attorney's fees below in a complex suit for recovery of a real estate broker's commission brought against multiple defendants. The plaintiff real estate broker, E.A. Law & Co., International, Inc., secured a judgment below against one of the defendants, but appeals as to the balance of the defendants, claiming as error the denial of certain motions to amend its pleadings and the entry of directed verdicts on its claims against the aforesaid defendants. One of the defendants, The Keyes Company, also appeals a judgment entered on a cross claim filed against it after an adverse jury verdict and an adverse summary judgment entered on its cross claim.
