C&G Homes v Secretary of State for Health (controversial case)
Facts: 2 properties on a housing estate purchased by secretary of state for use in
community for mental health patients as hospitals closing down. Covenants on the
property not to allow any act which 'may become a nuisance, danger, annoyance or
detriment' to C&G Homes or others living on the estate and must be used as private
dwelling houses only. Neighbours didn't want care communities and tried to stop the use.
Outcome: Court of Appeal found that no business was being conducted but the other
covenant was breached as used for public not private means. Unfortunate exercise of
covenants being used for anti-community care.
