The Beekman Estate v. Foster

Court of Appeals of the State of New York
Nov 22, 1921
134 N.E. 555 (N.Y. 1921)

Opinion

Argued October 26, 1921

Decided November 22, 1921

Herbert L. Fordham, Charles A. Collin and Charles K. Beekman for appellant.

Outerbridge Horsey, Ellery O. Anderson and Warren C. Fielding for respondents.


We think that the restrictive covenants, read in the light of the surrounding circumstances, must be held to have been intended as a burden running with the land.

The judgment which describes the defendants' easement as "perpetual" does not, by such description, affect the power of the Supreme Court to withhold the remedy of injunction upon facts sufficient to justify the substitution of money damages in the exercise of a sound discretion.

The judgment should be affirmed, with costs.

HISCOCK, Ch. J., HOGAN, CARDOZO, POUND, McLAUGHLIN, CRANE and ANDREWS, JJ., concur.

Judgment affirmed.
