Key point
- When a covenant is annexed to the benefiting land, the covenantee cannot enforce a covenant one it has sold off the benefiting property
Facts
- Allen promised London City Council that he will not build on a strip of land needed for the continuation of a road
- Allen conveyed the burdened land to his wife D who proceeded to build on it
- The London CC had sold the land benefiting from the covenant, but nonetheless sued to enforce it
Held (Court of Appeal)
- C could not enforce the covenant because it had sold the benefiting land
- A claimant must have title to the dominant land to a restrictive covenant
