ABSTRACT
Since a lease is a proprietary interest, it may be assigned by the lessee to another person. Similarly, the reversion is property in the hands of the lessor, and he may assign it. Where a lessee assigns the lease or the lessor assigns the reversion, the question arises as to whether the assignee: (a) is entitled to the benefits of the covenants made in favour of the assignor;
and (b) is subject to the burdens of the covenants entered into by the assignor.
