Court reviews an agreement that restricted the use of a roadway that provided access to property

TOMMY HINTON and wife, JEAN MARIE HINTON v. JERRY L. EDMONDS and wife, SUSAN D. EDMONDS (Tenn. Ct. App. May 7, 2012)

Adjoining property owners dispute the validity of an Agreement which placed restrictions upon a roadway across one property which provided access to the other property. The trial court, after making specific factual findings, found the Agreement invalid and non-binding upon the parties. We affirm the trial court’s factual findings as well as its ultimate determination of invalidity.
