Summary

The Supreme Court of Alabama affirmed a summary judgment and injunction barring Trevor Cole from subdividing his lot in violation of unambiguous subdivision covenants. The court held that Cole failed to establish any equitable defense, failed to show that additional discovery was necessary, and failed to demonstrate that all subdivision property owners were necessary or indispensable parties. The court also affirmed judgment against Cole on his tortious-interference and civil-conspiracy claims.
