The plaintiffs’ petition for certification to appeal from the Appellate Court, 205 Conn. App. 299, 258 A.3d 711 (AC 38442), is granted, limited to the following issues:
"1. Did the Appellate Court correctly determine that the commercial real estate brokerage agreements were unenforceable because the terms of those agreements did not satisfy the requirement in General Statutes § 20-325a (c) that any such agreements state ‘the duration of the authorization’ contained therein?
"2. Did the trial court correctly determine that the listing agreements were contracts for the personal services of Jeanette Haddad and, therefore, that the named defendant was not liable to any of the plaintiffs for brokerage commissions, even if the agreements had been enforceable by Jeanette Haddad during her lifetime?"
