Spencer's Case
English real property law case about leasehold covenants / From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Spencer's Case (1583) 5 Co Rep. 16a, is an English common law case reported by Sir Edward Coke, who was then sitting on the King's Bench. It establishes the rule that covenants in leases with a sufficiently close relation to the land "run with the land," and will bind assignees of the leasehold.
