    The Court held that the IO has standing under s18(1)(c) BMO to enforce negative covenants in the DMC; the signboards were erected without the manager's written consent and therefore breached clauses 4(m), 10(a)(i),(iii) and 10(d) of the DMC; Clause 17 did not entitle the 1st respondent or its tenants to rely on rights reserved to the First Owner because no permission or license from the First Owner/successor was shown; equitable discretion did not bar injunctive relief; appeals dismissed and injunctions below affirmed.
