Formby v Barker: ChD 14 Jul 1903

When on the sale of the whole of a vendor’s land the purchaser enters into a covenant restricting the user of the land, the executor of the vendor cannot maintain an action for an injunction against an assign of the purchaser in respect of a breach of the covenant committed after the vendor’s death.
Such a covenant is merely personal and collateral, and the principle of
Tulle v. Moxhay, (1848) 2 Ph. 774, does not apply to it.
