Docket entry
200476 Canova Land & Investment Co. v. Lynn 04/15/2021 In a suit to quiet title in which the plaintiff argued that a reverter clause in an 1875 deed conveying property to a church should be voided as an unreasonable restraint on alienation -- irrationally limited in scope and void as against public policy, hindering the plaintiff's efforts to develop a larger parcel -- the grantors' deed gave the church a fee simple subject to the possibility of reverter, a restraint on use, which is not unreasonable in light of the charitable context in which it was given. The judgment of the circuit court upholding the 1875 deed as valid and dismissing the complaint is affirmed.
