Sec. 10-60. Violations; liability of business broker to damaged parties; rights of prospective client. A person who commits a material violation of this Act, in connection with a contract for the services of a business broker, is liable to any client damaged by the violation, for the amount of the actual damages suffered, but not more than the fees actually paid by the client seeking relief, together with interest at the legal rate, and attorney fees. If a business broker commits a material violation of Section 10-10, 10-20, or 10-30 of this Act, in connection with a contract for business brokering services, the contract is void, and the prospective client is entitled to receive from the business broker all sums paid to the business broker, with interest and any attorney's fee required to enforce this Section.
