(b) Recent decisions seem very greatly to impair the efficacy of the proto maintain visions usually inserted for securing a perpetual rent-charge on building buildings, land; for it has been determined by the Court of Appeal in Haywood v. The Brunswick Building Society, 30 W. R. 299, approved by the Court of Appeal in London and South-Western Railway Company. v. Gomm, W. N. 1882, p. 32, that the doctrine established by Tulk v. Moxhay, 2 Phil. 774, that restrictive covenants in a conveyance in fee are binding on the covenantor's assigns with notice, is confined to negative or prohibitory covenants, which may be enforced by injunction, and does not apply to affirmative covenants, such as a covenant to maintain buildings, which is not enforceable by action either for damages or for specific performance. Although such a restrictive covenant is not open to objection for perpetuity (per Kay, J., in the above case of L. & S.-W. Rail. Co. v. Gomm, 30 W. R. 324), it is not clear that the principle of the decision of the Court of Appeal in the last mentioned case, that an unlimited power of pre-emption is void as a perpetuity, does not apply to a power of re-entry on breach of a restrictive covenant, if the power be absolute, though it may be free from objection if confined to making good the breach; but the power, even though in terms absolute, would now be restricted to this by the effect of the Conv. Act, 1881, s. 14, enabling the Court to relieve against forfeiture, which indeed (see subs. 3) seems to imply the validity of such a condition of re-entry, although perpetual.
