When can one withhold one’s consent? When your watchword is “noli mentula esse”.

That's when. As was illustrated in the recent case of Crowther v Arbuthnot Latham & Co Ltd.

If the purpose of a covenant is for a party to achieve a certain purpose, or prevent a certain outcome, then if you use the covenant to achieve some other purpose, you’re likely to get yourself in trouble.
