    You can't have a restrictive covenant if one doesn't exist! It has to exist before it exists, if you see what I mean...

          I can hear it all now ... "Is your witness credible?" ... "Well Sir, he is a bent solicitor ..."

            Yes but... relevance in law isn't quite like that and we have no idea what he was struck off for, and only the OPs understanding that he was. The fact that restrictive covenants have to be in writing pretty much does it for me.
