To pass and repass versus to park
Discussion
I have recently acquired most of a cul-de-sac street (all but the first 10 or 15 metres at the entrance end) along which is a row of nine terraced houses and two commercial properties. The title contains certain covenants regarding access for the occupiers of the part of the street I now own. Two of the covenants are the same (although included at different times), one relating to the houses, the other relating to one of the commercial properties.
They give the occupiers the right to "pass and repass" over the street, both vehicular and pedestrian. For the house occupiers this includes the whole of the street (and a back street which is also included in the title) whereas for the commercial property it applies to only the part of the street from its entrance up to where that building stands.
I imagine "pass and repass" is a common term in such covenants. My question is, typically, does "pass and repass" also imply parking of vehicles or would that require a more specific term?

Why didn't you ask your solicitor this when you were making the purchase? He's probably better qualified to answer than a car forum.
I did ask HER.Pistonheads' forum is about a whole lot more than motoring and this forum in particular is frequented by a whole host of individuals qualified and well experienced in all areas of law. I know from experience that they are very helpful people. Unlike you.
