Saskatchewan, Canada
The following excerpt is from Klenman v. Isman, 1924 CanLII 82 (SK CA):
In Ricketts v. Enfield Churchwardens [1909] 1 Ch. 544, 78 L.J. Ch. 294, the lessor covenanted that neither he nor his “assigns” would erect or permit to be erected a building in front of the building line on the land adjoining the demised premises. In that case it was held that “assigns” meant persons who were in possession of the adjoining premises deriving title from the lessor.
