Winney v. Jerup
Annotate this Case
The Supreme Court affirmed the judgment of the district court finding that an outbuilding Michael Troy Jerup constructed violated the setback requirements governing the properties of Jerup and his neighboring property owner, J. William Winney, Jr., but denying Winney's request for an order requiring that the structure be removed or relocated, holding that there was no error.
Specifically, the Supreme Court held (1) the district court erred in denying Winney's request for an injunction on the ground that it was untimely; (2) the district court erred in ruling that proof of an injury was an element of Winney's request for an order enjoining Jerup's violation of the protective covenants; and (3) a weighing of the equities did not support issuance of a mandatory injunction requiring the destruction of Jerup's outbuilding, and this Court affirms the district court's ruling on that alternate basis.
