DIVISION OF ST. THOMAS & ST. JOHN
GREAT St JIM, LLC
Plaintiff,
v.
CHRISTIAN KJAER in persona's:, &
PARCEL 11, ESTATE NAZARETH, ST.
THOMAS, U.S. VIRGIN ISLANDS in rem,

Civil No. ST-I8-CV-29
ACTION FOR ENFORCEMENT
OF COVENANT, INJUNCTIVE
RELIEF, PRIVATE NUISANCE,
DIMINUTION OF VALUE,
UNJUST ENRICHMENT &
ACCOUNTING
MOTION TO DISMISS THE FIRST AMENDED COMPLAINT
COMES NOW, Defendants Christian Kjaer ("Kjaer") in personam and Parcel II, Estate
Nazareth, St. Thomas, U.S. Virgin Islands in rem ("Parcel 11") (collectively "Defendants"), by
and through their undersigned counsel, and motion this honorable Court pursuant to Virgin Islands
Rule of Civil Procedure Rules I2(b)(6) and 12(b)( I ) to dismiss the First Amended Complaint
("FAC") for failure to state a claim for which relief can be granted.
Plaintiff Great St. Jim ("GS Jim") in the FAC seeks to enforce an alleged historical
restrictive covenant that burdens Parcel II and also seeks related penalties and damages for an
alleged violation of the alleged restrictive covenant. The FAC must be dismissed because, for the
same reasons asserted in the Defendants' Motion to Dismiss of the original Complaint, there is no
restrictive covenant burdening Parcel 11, moreover, any alleged claims are barred by the statute of
limitations. The FAC is also fatally deficient in the alternative claim that there is an express or
implied easement. The FAC is based on misstatements and fabrications that are unsupported by
the public record.
1.
Statement of the law for a motion to dismiss
The Virgin Islands Rules of Civil Procedure mandates that "[a] pleading that states a claim
EFTA00805272
Great St. Jim, LLC, v. Kjacr, el at.
Motion to Dismiss the First Amended Complaint
Page 2
for relief must contain []...a short and plain statement of the claim showing that the pleader is
entitled to relief..." V.L. It Civ. P. 8(a)(2). Virgin Islands Rule of Civil Procedure 12(b)(6)
enables a Court to dismiss a claim where the plaintiff "fails to state a claim upon which relief can
be granted." V.I. R. Civ. P. !2(b)(6).
According to the analysis employed by the Supreme Court of the Virgin Islands in
reviewing motions to dismiss based on Rule I 2(b)(6):
First, the court must take note of the elements a plaintiff must plead to state a
claim so that the court is aware of each item the plaintiff must sufficiently plead.
Second, the court should identify allegations that, because they are no more than
conclusions, are not entitled to the assumption of truth. These conclusions can
take the form of either legal conclusions couched as factual allegations or naked
factual assertions devoid of further factual enhancement. Finally, where there are
well-pleaded factual allegations, a court should assume their veracity and then
determine whether they plausibly give rise to an entitlement of relief. If there are
sufficient remaining facts that the court can draw a reasonable inference that the
defendant is liable based on the elements noted in the first step, then the claim is
plausible.

against him or her. Finn v. Adams, No. ST-16-CV-752, 2018 WL 3756421, at *4 (V.I. Super. Aug.

A statute of limitations defense is an affirmative defense that must be raised in a
defendant's first responsive pleading, which is frequently a motion for judgment on the pleadings,
but in the interest of judicial economy, can be first raised in a motion to dismiss. Rennie v. Hess

Public records submitted in support of Defendants' motion to dismiss show that GS Jim
purchased Great St. James Island (the "Island") from Kjaer and GSJ Properties Corp. on January
28, 2016. See Exhibit 1, copy of recorded deeds Kjaer to Great St. Jim LLC and GSJ Properties
Corp. to Great St. Jim LLC document numbers 2016000575 and 2016000576.
Kjaer along with his siblings or sibling's heirs acquired ownership of the Island by
adjudication of his late mother's estate in the Matter of the Estate of Karen Elisabeth Kjaer a/kla
Karen Lis Kjaer, Territorial Court of the Virgin Islands, ST-87-PB-43. Kjaer alone acquired
ownership of Parcel I I from the adjudication. Id. Kjaer acquired parcel A of the Island. A copy of
the Adjudication in the Matter of the Estate of Karen Elisabeth Kjaer a/k/a Karen Lis Kjaer,
Territorial Court of the Virgin Islands, ST-87-PB-43 is attached as Exhibit 2.
Helle Bundgaard and Steen Bundgaard acquired parcels B-I and B-2 of the Island from the
adjudication. Id. On or about May I I, 2011, Helle Bundgaard and Steen Bundgaard sold parcels
B-I and 8-2 of the Island to GSJ Properties Corp. ("GSJPC"). A copy of the Bundgaard deed to
GSJPC, document no. 2011003242 is attached as Exhibit 6.
Merete Emilie Furst acquired parcels C-1 and C-2 of the Island through the adjudication of
Karen's estate. Ex. I. John Furst, Nina Furst and Kim Furst acquired parcels C-I and C-2 from
their later mother (Merete Emilie Furst) by Executor's Deed on July 14, 2004. See copy of
Executor's Deed, document no. 2004006268 attached as Exhibit 7. John Furst, Nina Furst and
Kim Furst sold parcels C-1 and C-2 to GSJPC on January II, 2016. A copy of the Furst deed to
GSJPC, document no. 2016000170 is attached as Exhibit 8.
When Karen Elisabeth Kjaer ("Karen") purchased the Island in 1979, her deed did not
contain the alleged restrictive covenant language. Attached is a copy of the deed from James A.
Evans, Jr., William H. Evans and Cowpet Bay Corporation to Karen Lis Kjaer, recorded on

October II, 1979. A copy of the 1979 deed is attached as Exhibit 3.
III.
The First Amended Complaint fails to allege grounds to sue Parcel 11 in rem
As a preliminary matter Plaintiff's attempt at bringing an in rem action should be
dismissed. An in rem action "'is one in which the judgment of the court determines the title to
property and the rights of the parties, not merely as between themselves. but also as against all
persons at any time dealing with them or with the property,' or 'res,"upon which the court had
adjudicated.'" Black's Law Dictionary 864 (9th ed. 2009)". Bryan v. Fawkes, No. S.CT.CIV. 2014-
0066, 2014 WL 5409110, at *11 (V.1. Oct. 24, 2014). GS Jim cannot sue land in rem when seeking
injunctive relief where title to the property is not in question. Whitlock v. Schoch, 173 Kart 43.
51-52, 244 P.2d 189, 194-95 (1952). ("This action was one purely for injunctive relief—to enjoin
defendants from committing and maintaining the nuisances in violation of the restrictive
covenants. Title to the property was in no way involved, and neither was it sought to bar any
defendant from any interest therein. Only the use to which it was being put was in issue. The decree
would be enforceable only against individuals—the defendants. The action was strictly one in
personam, not in rem.") This Court lack in rem jurisdiction under Virgin Islands Rule 12(b)(I),
which provides for a defense due to lack of subject-matter jurisdiction over the claim.
GS Jim does not allege that the title to Parcel 11 is in question. The FAC alleges that Kjaer
owns Parcel I I. FAC ¶ 2. The FAC does not question Kjaer's ownership. Therefore the in rem
action in FAC must be dismissed as to Parcel II.
IV.
Enforcement of the historical covenant is barred by the statute of limitations
A motion to dismiss for failure to state a claim based on a statute of limitations defense
will succeed if the complaint does not allege when the tort or breach o f contract first occurred. See
Charleswell v. Chase Manhattan Bank, N,A., 308 F. Supp. 2d 545, 563 (D.V.I. 2004). Here the
EFTA00805275
Great St Jim, LLC, v. !gem): et
Motion to Dismiss the First Amended Complaint
Page 5
FAC must be dismissed because it fails to allege any facts to give notice on when the covenant or
easement was first violated.
Specific to Count I of the FAC, the deed from the Evans brothers to Karen Kjaer does not
contain any restrictive covenant limiting the use of Parcel 11. Ex. 2. The deed also does not state
that it is subject to any covenants or restrictions of record. Id. This means that all beneficiaries of
the alleged covenant were put on notice on October I I, 1979. that the owners of Parcel 11 were
eliminating the covenant. In the Virgin Islands the statute of limitations for a breach of contract is
six years. 5 V.I.C. §31(3)(a). Courts consistently hold that the statute of limitations to enforce a
restrictive covenant is the same as enforcing a contract. Country Estates Homeowners Ass'n. Inc.
v. McMillan, 276 Mont. 100, 102, 915 P.2d 806, 808 (19%). This accordingly, that the statute of
limitations expired on or about October 11, 1985.
Occasionally some jurisdictions apply the statute of limitations for a sealed instrument to
enforce a restrictive covenant, as a deed is a sealed instrument. Meadow Run/Mountain Lake Park
Ass'n v Bantell, 985 A.2d 989, 992 (Pa. Commw. Ct. 2009). The statute of limitations starts when
the deed restriction was violated. "An enforcement action accrues upon breach of the restrictive
covenant." Girsh v. Sr. John, 218 S.W.3d 921, 925 (Tex. App. 2007). Any claims for altering of a
restrictive covenant accrue when the amendment is publicly recorded. Silver Shells Corp. v. St.
Maarten at Silver Shells Condo. Ass'n, Inc., 169 So. 3d 197, 201 (Fla. Dist. Ct. App. 2015). In the
Virgin Islands the statute of limitations on a sealed instrument is twenty years. 5 V.I.C. §31(1)(c).
If this Court were to use the statute of limitation for a sealed instrument, the statute of limitations
to enforce the covenant would have run on or about October II, 1999. The statute of limitations
does not restart simply because there is a new owner of Great St. James. See Hayes v. Virgin
Islands, No. CIV. 1972-354, 1975 WL 400921, at *5 (D.V.I. Mar. 3, 1975) (subsequent transferee

hold land with prior reservations); see In re Saturn L-Series Timing Chain Prod. Liab. Litig., No.
8:07CV298, 2008 WL 4866604. at *6 (D. Neb. Nov. 7. 2008) (resale of goods does not restart the
statute of limitations as to the manufacturer.)
The right to enforce a restrictive covenant must be timely enforced, and will be forever
waived if not enforced. See Havensight Hills Estates Prop. °liners Ass'n. Inc. v. Bronco, No. CI V.
721/1993, 1999 WL 317124. at *2 (Tern V.I. Feb. 23. 1999) (finding that subdivision residents
cannot enforce restrictive covenant where there was a long-standing common practice of violations
of the restrictive covenant without complaint, the residents acquiesced in the practice). Here there
is no allegation as to when the breach first occurred.
It is not necessary for this Court to determine if the six year or twenty year statute of
limitations applies in the Virgin Islands. Enforcement of the restrictive covenant lapsed no matter
which statute of limitations applies. The FAC must be dismissed because the underlying deed
restriction that is the basis on which all of GS Jim's claims are based fails because they are time
barred. Additionally, it must be dismissed because GS Jim fails to allege when the breach of the
deed restriction first occurred. The FAC rests on the enforcement of the restrictive covenant.
Enforcement is barred by the statute of limitations therefore the FAC must be dismissed. There is
no plausible possibility that GS Jim can recover.
V.
GS Jim is not the intended beneficiary of an historical deed restriction therefore
it does not have standing to enforce the alleged restrictive covenant
The alleged restrictive covenant relied upon in the FAC states on its face that it is for the
benefit of Track I and track 2 owners. As explained more fully below, only intended beneficiaries
have a right to enforcement. Incidental beneficiaries to the historical covenant such as Plaintiff do
not have and never have had rights. Plaintiff's argument in this regard, is fabricated. GS Jim does
not have standing to enforce the alleged historical covenant because it is not the intended
EFTA00805277
Great St Jim. Ur, rit Icaer, et al.
Motion to Dismiss the First Amended Complaint
Page 7
beneficiary of the historical deed restriction. Paragraph 9 of the FAC states (with emphasis added)
in part:
It is understood and agreed that this conveyance is made and accepted upon the
following covenants, conditions, restrictions and reservation which shall run with
the land and which are made for the benefit of the present and future owner or
owners of any lot or lots compromising premises known as Tracts Nos. I and 2,
Estate Nazareth (Benners1 No. 1 Red Hook Quarter, St. Thomas, V.I., as delineated
on P.W.D. File No. F9-372-T59 viz:
Map P.W.D. File No. F9-372-159 shows that Tracts Nos. I and 2 are in Estate Nazareth,
Red Hook, and not on Great St. James Islands. Map P.W.D. File No. F9-372-T59 is attached as
Exhibit 5. Using Parcel II to access the Island was not to benefit the island but to benefit the
parcels that surrounded Parcel 11. The drafters of the covenant clearly knew how to identify a
beneficiary, and specifically choose not to name the owners, occupants, licensees and invitees of
Great St. James as the intended beneficiaries.
The owners of Great St. James are not the intended beneficiary of the alleged restrictive
covenant. "It is black-letter law that incidental beneficiaries have no enforceable rights under a
contract." Francis v. Miller, No. CIV. 558/90, 1991 WL I 1818254, at *1 (Tern. V.I. Sept. 6, 1991).
"While an intended beneficiary may recover under a contract, an incidental beneficiary, cannot.
See In re Nat'l. Molding Co., 230 F.2d 69, 72 (3d Cir.1956) (noting that an incidental beneficiary
does not have a right of action under a contract)" Banks v. Intl Rental & Leasing Corp., No. CI V.
2002-200, 2008 WL 2149380, at *4 n. 5 (D.V.I. May 19, 2008). The owners of Tracts Nos. 1 and
2 are the only beneficial owners, NOT GS Jim.
To determine who is the beneficiary of the covenant, you must look at the expressed intent
of the parties who made the original covenant to see if "they intended by agreement to benefit the
land held by the person seeking to enforce the agreement." Freeland Tr. v. Roach, No. CIV.
1063/1992, 1995 WL 815565, at *3 (Teri. V.I. Mar. 9, 1995). Here we are fortunate enough to
EFTA00805278
Great Si. Jim, LLC. v. IQaer. et al.
Motion to Dismiss the First Amended Complaint
Page 8
have the contracting parties express intent clearly stated. They clearly intended to benefit the
owners of Parcel 6 and 7 Estate Nazareth (a/k/a Tracks Nos. 1 and 2). While the alleged covenant
allowed the owners of Great St. James to use the Parcel 11, they are not the expressed intended
beneficiary. GS Jim has no rights to enforce the historical covenant. As GS Jim has not alleged
ownership or an interest in Parcels 6 and 7 Estate Nazareth', GS Jim has no authority to enforce
the alleged covenant.
GS Jim does not have authority or standing to enforce the historical covenant because it
was not the expressed intended beneficiary. Further, GS Jim appears to accept that it cannot
enforce the covenant as it is now alleges that it has an implied easement. This component of Count
I along with the other two components, expressed and implied easements, discussed in section VI
below, are unenforceable. Count I of the FAC must be dismissed.
VI.
There is no implied or expressed easement for the use of Parcel I I related to Great
St. James Island.
GS Jim alleges that it has an implied easement for exclusive use of Parcel II because
Parcel 11 was used as a staging ground for the Island in keeping with the covenant and because a
permanent access point on St. Thomas is necessary to the owners and occupants o f the island. FAC
¶ 18. This alternative argument must be dismissed because the FAC does not give notice of key
elements of an implied or expressed easement.
a. There are no allegations to support a claim for an expressed easement and
Count I must be dismissed
Under Count I the FAC fails to allege any facts to support that there is an express easement.
I In 1968 Reichhold sold Parcels 6 and 7 (Tracts Nos. I and 2) to the Government of the Virgin Islands ("GVI").
Ivanna Eudora Kean Senior Nigh School is now on one parcel. The Department of Fish and Wildlife is on the other
parcel. The OW also leases some of the land for private marinas.

Motion to Dismiss the First Amended Complaint
Page 9
"[I]n analyzing an express easement courts are required to determine if the easement satisfies the
Statute of Frauds pursuant to 28 V.I.C.
241, which requires a deed of conveyance or other
instrument to be in writing." SBRMCOA, LLC v. Morehouse Real Estate Investments, LLC, No.
ST-14-CV-138, 2015 WL 1206119, at *13 (V.1. Super. Mar. 12, 2015). Here the FAC does not
allege any writing between GS Jim and Kjaer. Therefor there is no expressed easement. The
alternative claim for an express easement must be dismissed because it fails to give notice of a
written instrument2.
b. The FAC fails to give Defendants notice of the facts to support the creation of
an implied easement
Under Count I the FAC fails to give Defendants notice as to how the alleged implied
easement was created by the sale of the Island. There is a general preference against encumbering
real property by creating an easement therefore a plaintiff has a high burden to claim an implied
easement. Brodburst v. Frazier, No. S CT CIV 2011-0003, 2012 WL 8123137, at •3 (V.1. Sept.
12, 2012).
When Kjaer owned both Parcel A and Parcel II, any use of parcel 11 as a staging ground
for Parcel A was simply a landowner using his land. Kjacr was not using an easement over his
own land. By operation of law there was no easement when the Kjaers owned both Parcel 11 and
the Island. When there is merger of ownership between a dominant and subservient parcel the
easement merges and is extinguished. Auman v. Grimes, 364 Pa. Super. 243, 247, 527 A.2d 1045,
1047 (1987). Any easement that might have existed before the Evans' brothers or Karen Kjaer's
2 Under the merger doctrine when the dominate and subservient property enjoy unity of ownership the casement
merges and is extinguished. Amon v. Grimes, 364 Pa. Super. 243. 247. 527 A.2d 1045, 1047 (1987). The 1965
Deed, which precedes Karen Kjaer's 1979 deed cannot act as the written instrument because when Karen Kjaer
purchased Parcel 11 and the Island, any casement merged and was extinguished.
EFTA00805280
Great St Jim, LLC, v. Kjaer, et at.
Motion to Dismiss the First Amended Complaint
Page 10
unified ownership of the Island and Parcel II merged and was extinguished. There is no allegation
in the FAC that GSJPC, Helle Bundgaard, Steen Bundgaard, Merete Emilie Furst, John Furst, Nina
Furst or Kim Furst ever used Parcel II to access the Island, let alone with any regularity. Kjaer
did not own the entire Island. By operation of law if Kjaer used Parcel II to access Parcel A, he
was not using an easement over his own property.
Plaintiffs alternative argument that an implied easement exists is facially incorrect. There
was no casement prior to the sale of the Island. The sale of the Parcel A did not create an easement
over Parcel II to access the entire Island. Unity of ownership is a necessary element to create an
casement. SBRMCOA. LLC v. Morehouse Real Estate Investments. LLC, No. ST-14-CV-I 38, 2015
WL 1206119, at *10 (V.1. Super. Mar. 12, 2015). The FAC does not and cannot allege that there
was unity of ownership of the Island and Parcel II. Defendants do not have any notice as to how
the alleged implied easement was created when there was no unity o f ownership of the two parcels.
Therefor the alternative claim must be dismissed because Plaintiff will never meet the burden to
create an easement.
The FAC does not allege how Kjaer used Parcel I 1 prior to GS Jim purchasing the Island.
While it does say Parcel 11 was used as a staging ground for the Island. It does not say who used
it or that it was used exclusively as a staging ground. This noticeable careful word choice robs
Kjaer of any notice on key elements of an implied easement — prior use and necessity. A plaintiff
must prove that the "continuance of the prior use was reasonably necessary to enjoyment of the
parcel, estate, or interest previously benefited by the use." Id. The FAC must be dismissed because
there are no allegations in the FAC to give notice as to why Parcel II specifically is necessary to
access the Island. There are numerous boat access points on St. Thomas, and several are near or
adjacent to Parcel II.
EFTA00805281
Great St Jim. LLC, v. Kjaer, et at
Motion to Dismiss the First Amended Complaint
Page II
The FAC does not allege any facts to give notice that Kjaer intended to create an
easement over Parcel 11 when he sold Parcel A. To form an implied easement there needs to be
intent to create an encumbrance on the servient estate. Louis W. Epstein Family Pship v. Kmart
Corp., 13 F.3d 762, 773 (3d Cir. 1994). Intent is very important in this case as GS Jim is not
socking a right of way easement, but rather complete control of Parcel II. GS Jim wants to stop
Kjaer from using Parcel I 1 in its entirety. It is illogical to assume that Kjaer intended to effectively
give GS Jim an exclusive casement over Parcel II after GS Jim declined to purchase Parcel I I. It
is even more illogical that Kjaer would intend to grant this exclusive easement while retaining the
entire burden of taxes, utilities, insurance, securing the property and maintenance. The FAC offers
nothing to show that Kjaer intended to act against commonsense and logic. The FAC must be
dismissed because it fails to give Kjaer notice of his alleged intent to create an easement. Of note,
Defendants cannot find any support in the law for the creation of an implied casement that grants
the dominate land complete control and use of the subservient land. This is an obscene attempt at
a private taking and a usurpation of the judicial process.
In the Virgin Islands notice is a requirement to enforcing an unrecorded servitude.
Brodhurst v. Frazier, No. S CT CIV 2011-0003, 2012 WL 8123137, at •4 (V.1. Sept. 12, 2012).
There are no facts to support the allegation that Kjaer had notice of the formation of the alleged
easement. The 1965 Deed cannot be a proxy for notice as any easement merged under Karen
Kjaer's unity of ownership. Karen Kjaer's deed to Parcel I I did not contain the historical covenant
and does not state that it is bound by covenants of restriction of record.
The alternative argument that there was an implied easement created simply because Parcel
I I may have been used as a staging ground for the Island must be dismissed because it does not
give Kjaer any notice on the necessary elements of prior use, necessity, intent, notice and unity of
EFTA00805282

ownership.
VII.
Count II alleging private nuisance claim must be dismissed
Count II of FAC alleges a private nuisance. Defendants raised this argument in the motion
to dismiss of the Complaint. The FAC still does not address how Kjaer is using Parcel 11 in a way
that interferes with the Island. This claim fails as it is based on the same fauhy premise of Count
1, that GS Jim has an interest in Parcel 11. Count II also failed to allege facts to support a claim.
Virgin Islands code states in part "[a]ny person whose property is affected by a private nuisance,
or whose personal enjoyment thereof is in like manner thereby affected, may maintain an action
for damages therefor." 28 V.I.C. § 331. The "soundest rule for the Virgin Islands is to define a
private nuisance as a substantial and unreasonable nontrespassory interference with another's
interest in the private use and enjoyment of land." Cifre v. Daas Enterprises, Inc., No. ST-2012-
CV-701, 2015 WL 1912709, at *12 (V.1. Super. Apr. 24, 2015). For this to survive dismissal GS
Jim would have to allege how Kjaer's use of Parcel I I interferes with GS Jim's use of the Island.
While GS Jim states that Defendants use of Parcel I 1 violates the restrictive covenant, FAC fails
to allege how the Defendants are using Parcel II. Without alleging how Parcel II is used there is
no notice on how the use interferes with GS Jim's use of the Island. For this reason alone Count 11
must dismissed.
VIII. There was no diminution of value of Great St. James
In Count IV of FAC GS Jim claims a diminution of value of the Island. This claim must be
dismissed because it is not a cause of action but rather a form to measure damages for the alleged
breach of the covenant and/or the express or implied easement. A diminution in value claim is
subsumed by the tort claims. See DeSoto v. Condon, No. SACV085I4AHSMLGX, 2008 WL
11338151, at *6 (C.D. Cal. Oct. 3, 2008), ajj'd, 371 F. App'x 822 (9th Cir. 2010). Remedies are
EFTA00805283
Great St. Jim, LLC, r. /goer, et al.

Page 13
not a cause of action. Marian Y Fraser, No. ST-13-CV-549, 2014 WL 1239492, at •3, n. 22 (V.1.
Super. Mar. 17, 2014). Count IV must be dismissed because it seeks a remedy and is not a separate
cause of act ion.
IX.
Use of Parcel 11 does not unjustly enrich Kjaer
As for Count V, unjust enrichment GS Jim once again seeks monetary damages even
though FAC alleges that monetary damages are insignificant. Defendants raised this argument in
the motion to dismiss of the Complaint. The FAC still does not assert a proper claim for unjust
enrichment. The added irony of this claim is that if GS Jim succeeds it will be the ones unjustly
enriched in that it might get to use Parcel II without any burden.
In the Virgin Islands the elements of unjust enrichment are "(1) that the defendant was
enriched, (2) that such enrichment was at the plaintiffs expense, (3) that the defendant had
appreciation or knowledge of the benefit, and (4) that the circumstances were such that in equity
or good conscience the defendant should return the money or property to the plaintiff." Walters v.
Walters, No. S.CT.CIV. 2010-0040, 2014 WL 1681319, at *5 (V.I. Apr. 28, 2014). FAC fails to
allege any facts to show how Kjaer used Parcel 11, how the use was at GS Jim's expense, and that
Kjaer knew he was unjustly enriching himself. GS Jim never alleges it asked to use the property
(it did not), begging the question how Kjaer can be enriched at GS Jim's expense when GS Jim
never asked to use Parcel 11. FAC is void on any allegation how Kjaer knew about the deed
restriction. The public record shows that historical covenant was not in the deed Karen received.
The Claim for unjust enrichment must be dismissed because it fails to allege that Kjaer
knew about the historical deed restriction or that GS Jim ever tried to use Parcel I I.

Conclusion
This action is an impermissible attempt to use the Judiciary to take away Defendants real
property without any remuneration. The FAC should be dismissed because the enforcement of the
historical deed restriction is barred by the statute of limitations. The Plaintiffs are not the intended
beneficiary; therefore they do not have standing to enforce the historical covenants. There is no
implied or expressed easement that burdens Parcel II. Parcel 11 is not necessary to access the
Island and the requested exclusive easement is extremely burdensome. The remaining claims must
be dismissed because they stem from the time barred historical covenant.
All of the alleged claims rely on the enforceability of the historical covenant.
Unenforceability of the historical covenant requires that the entire FAC be dismissed. Based on
the foregoing Defendants request that this Court dismiss FAC with prejudice, order that the Lis
Pendens recorded against Parcel 11 be removed and award it costs.
