Restrictive covenant on garage

Update: Judge denied the claim against us (the garage lessees). Judge said the clause in the lease just confirms the garage is of the type to be used for parking a car in, so is confirming it is not a garage for fixing cars in for example. The lessee and lessor garages can all be used for storage of household items owned by the ancillary properties in the usual way any household garage can be used. Also confirmed there IS cross compliance for the lessor who also must abide by the clause so if the claimant had won they would have had to remove all their storage too. Justice works.10
