On the Case: What Bath Rugby means for restrictive covenants

Jess Harrold is joined by Tom Weekes QC, of Landmark Chambers, and Caroline Preist, partner at Royds Withy King, to discuss the Court of Appeal decision in Bath Rugby Ltd v Greenwood and others [2021] EWCA Civ 1927; [2021] PLSCS 220 - a dispute over stadium redevelopment plans.

Weekes and Preist, who acted for the successful appellants, explain the restrictive covenant at the heart of the case, and what the courts had to say about a complex area of the law.

In addition, they set out the implications of the Court of Appeal decision, both for Bath Rugby's redevelopment and the wider field of restrictive covenants.
