Bath Rugby Ltd v Greenwood and Others (PRE-1926 Restrictive Covenants Affecting Land): ChD 13 Oct 2020

The Court was asked whether a covenant had been attached to the land.
Held: the effect of a 1922 conveyance was to annex the benefit of the covenant to land of the vendor and his tenants adjoining or near the Rec. That meant that Mr White and 77 GPS were each entitled to the benefit of the covenant and it was enforceable by them (among others).
