The appellants argued that the application judge erred by failing to hold that its rights under the Easement included parking rights. Primont cross-appealed arguing that the application judge erred in law in refusing to include the Proposed Additional Declaration in the formal Judgment. Primont agreed to purchase real property owned by the respondent. Primont was a residential real estate developer. Primont’s agreement of purchase and sale (“APS”) was conditional on the respondent obtaining a release of reciprocal easements registered against the Property and the two adjoining lands of Friuli Benevolent Corporation and LTC.
