Miles & Stockbridge trial lawyers Anthony F. Cavanaugh and Matthew M. May recently obtained complete trial victories for the developer, manager and operator of a 300-acre resort campground property with more than 2,000 individual parcels along the Chesapeake Bay. Sasha E. Hodge-Wren also was an integral part of the litigation team and assisted with trial preparation on these matters.

Miles & Stockbridge’s clients own and manage the property on Maryland’s Eastern Shore known as the Indian Acres Club of Chesapeake Bay. Between December 5 and 13, 2019, Cavanaugh and May tried five cases asserting ten causes of action brought by members of the club and purported owners or purchasers of individual properties within the club’s property. The claims related to the parties’ rights and obligations under the club’s restrictive covenants and its governing documents. Cavanaugh and May obtained judgments in favor of the clients in all ten causes of action.

The recent judgments will help clarify and guide the interpretation and application of the restrictive covenants and governing documents that control both land use and conduct within the large resort property.
