Cloutier & Cassella Successfully Represents Neighbors in Guilford Land Dispute
September 2, 2010 1 Comment
We recently represented a group of neighbors who opposed an intensive development on property adjacent to their residential homes in Guilford. Last week, our clients received a favorable decision from the New Haven Superior Court which upheld the neighbors’ enforcement of a restrictive covenant over the adjacent property. The restrictive covenant, which was imposed by a deed dated in 1947, restricted the use of the adjacent property to residential or farming uses only. Following a contested four day trial and numerous post-trial briefs, the Court held that our clients had standing to enforce the covenant and issued an injunction prohibiting the proposed development of a synagogue and community center because these non-residential uses were inconsistent with the covenant.
