Lessons can be learned from a recent Supreme Court judgment on restrictive covenants, according to Andrew Francis, barrister, Serle Court
Writing in NLJ this week, Francis considers the ruling in Alexander Devine Children’s Cancer Trust v Housing Solutions [2020] UKSC 45.
The case concerned a property company who built on land near a children’s hospice. The buildings included 13 affordable houses on land burdened by restrictive covenants. The company applied to modify the covenants only after the houses were built.
