Walton v. Jaskiewicz
Court of Appeals of Maryland
563 A.2d 382 (1989)
Relevant factsFree
A subdivision's restrictive covenant barred further subdivision of individual lots but allowed a majority of landowners to modify the covenant after 25 years; when a majority of landowners voted to allow the Waltons (defendants) specifically to subdivide their own lot, fellow landowner Jaskiewicz (plaintiff) sued to block that change, and the trial court ruled for Jaskiewicz.
IssueFree
Whether a restrictive covenant must apply uniformly to all lots subject to it.
