Thomas Knudsen v. Gregory DeJean

Summary

The Supreme Court of Rhode Island affirmed the Superior Court’s judgment, holding that the 1989 restrictive covenant’s paragraph ten unambiguously forbids changes to the natural condition of the property, that the trial justice correctly found the covenant’s terms clear, that the injunctive relief ordered was within the trial justice’s discretion, and that the dismissal of Dr. DeJean’s laches defense was proper.
