Roach v. Hostetter

Holding

The court held that a complaint against testamentary trustees failed to state a cause of action on three distinct grounds: it did not allege the requisite claim against the decedent’s estate for unperformed contractual covenants; it failed to establish a legal duty owed by the trustees for soliciting municipal zoning and re-subdivision ordinances; and it lacked allegations of any covenant running with the land that was breached by the trustees’ actions.
