| 单词 | Restrictive covenant |
| 释义 | 限制性契諾 A covenant affecting land restricting the uses to which land may be put. At common law, the benefit of a covenant could run with the land, but the burden could not. Equity allows the burden of restrictive covenants to run with the land, thus binding successors in title to the original covenantor: Tulk v Moxhay (1848) 41 ER 1143. The equitable doctrine is, however, confined to covenants of a negative nature. In Hong Kong, the equitable doctrine has been extended by allowing the enforcement of positive covenants also: Conveyancing and Property Ordinance (Cap 219) s 41(2). This is necessary in respect of covenants in a deed of mutual covenant affecting common ownership of a multi-storey building: Wong Kam Lan v Well Win Investment Ltd [1996] 2 HKC 143. Successors in title who acquire land affected by a restrictive covenant, whether or not they had notice, will be bound by it if it is registered: s 41(9). See also Benefit of covenant; Burden of covenant; Common building scheme; Positive covenant; Restriction as to user. 指涉及土地的並限制土地使用的契諾。普通法下，契諾的利益可隨土地轉移，但契諾的負擔則不可。衡平法允許限制性契諾的負擔隨土地轉移，因此而對原來契諾承諾人的業權繼承人具約束力：Tulk v Moxhay (1848) 41 ER 1143。但衡平法的原則僅限於消極性契諾。在香港，衡平法原則被延伸，積極性契諾現已同樣可被強制執行：《物業轉易及財產條例》（第219章）第41(2)條。這對涉及多層建築物共同擁有權的公契是有需要的：Wong Kam Lan v Well Win Investment Ltd [1995] 3 HKC 381。業權繼承人獲得受限制性契諾影響的土地，如載有契諾的文書已予註冊，則不論該業權繼承人是否知悉契諾的存在，也受契諾的約束：第41(9)條。另見 Benefit of covenant; Burden of covenant; Common building scheme; Positive covenant; Restriction as to user。 |
