2014We therefore concluded that the lesson to be drawn from Aichison was that the rule against perpetuities will be applied to preemptive rights "only where the purposes of the rule, such as preventing a practical restraint upon alienation or encouraging improvement of the property, are served." Id. at 541 (citing Crossroads Shopping Cir., 646 P.2d at 882 ). 143 We then observed that, unlike an option that gives the holder the power to force a sale, the preemptive right at issue in Cambridge could not be exercised unless the owner first desired to sell; thus, the only effect of the preemption, if

2019If it is not “upon the same cause of action,” it is untimely. ¶ 24 Drawing largely on the Restatement (Second) of Judgments and case law construing the phrase for the purposes of claim preclusion, Park Meadows urges us to adopt a transactional view of “cause of action.” Under this approach, a “cause of action” is “bounded by the injury for which relief is demanded, and not by the legal theory on which the person asserting the claims relies.” Farmers High Line Canal & Reservoir Co. v.
