Generally
N.D.Tex.2020. Cit. generally in disc. Landowner sued lessee of oil-and-gas interests on landowner's
property, seeking a preliminary injunction to enjoin defendant from selling its interests in the lease to
third-party purchaser through its power under the parties' lease agreement to reasonably withhold
consent to sale of the interests. This court denied plaintiff's motion for a preliminary injunction, holding,
as a matter of first impression, that plaintiff unreasonably withheld its consent to the sale of the interests.
The court noted that Texas law relied on theories set forth in the Restatement of Property, the
Restatement Second of Property: Landlord & Tenant, and the Restatement Third of Property: Servitudes
when construing oil-and-gas leases. Mayo Foundation for Medical Education and Research v. BP
America Production Company, 447 F.Supp.3d 522, 529, 530.
CHAPTER 1. DEFINITIONS
§ 1.1 Servitude Defined; Scope of Restatement
N.D.Tex.2020. Cit. in disc. Landowner sued lessee of oil-and-gas interests on landowner's property,
seeking a preliminary injunction to enjoin defendant from selling its interests in the lease to third-party
purchaser through its power under the parties' lease agreement to reasonably withhold consent to sale of
the interests. This court denied plaintiff's motion for a preliminary injunction, holding, as a matter of
first impression, that plaintiff unreasonably withheld its consent to the sale of the interests. The court
observed that, although Restatement Third of Property: Servitudes § 1.1 suggested that the Restatement
did not discuss oil-and-gas law, the theory set forth by § 3.4 that restraints on alienation could not be
absolute could be applied to the field. Mayo Foundation for Medical Education and Research v. BP
America Production Company, 447 F.Supp.3d 522, 532.
Colo.2020. Subsecs. (1) and (2) cit. in diss. op. After town filed a petition in condemnation with respect
to a lot in a subdivision that it had purchased in order to build a water tower, owners of other properties
in the subdivision intervened, arguing, among other things, that the lot was subject to a restrictive
covenant that limited construction to single-family residences. The trial court concluded that the
restrictive covenants governing the properties in the subdivision created a compensable property interest
for each property owner whose land was subject to those covenants. The court of appeals reversed.
Affirming, this court held that a restrictive covenant of the type at issue was not a compensable property
interest in an eminent-domain proceeding. The dissent argued in favor of adopting the majority rule,
which provided that a restrictive covenant created a property interest under Restatement Third of
Property: Servitudes § 1.1 that was subject to just compensation upon condemnation. Forest View
Company v. Town of Monument, 464 P.3d 774, 783.
D.C.App.2020. Subsec. (1) quot. in disc. Neighbor brought a lawsuit against property owner's
successors in interest that used a vent shaft located on their property, seeking a declaration that plaintiff
had an easement to use the vent shaft for the purposes of an exterior restaurant exhaust system, because
