Ex Parte Phillip D. Odom (in Re Robert Diercks and Carin Diercks v. Phillip D. Odom)

Summary

The Supreme Court of Alabama reversed the Court of Civil Appeals and remanded, holding that the Dierckses’ garage violates restrictive covenant 1.C because it faces the front of the lot and that the covenants attach to the property as originally platted, unaffected by the owners’ combination of two lots. The Court applied de novo review of the summary‑judgment ruling.
