Facts:

• Sea House Restaurant Ltd. operated a restaurant under a lease from One West Holdings Ltd. since 2020.
• Due to rental arrears and failure to comply with lease terms, One West terminated the lease in August 2023.

Issue:

• Sea House sought a declaration that the lease remained effective or, alternatively, relief from forfeiture to reinstate the lease.

Court's Ruling:

• The court found the lease was validly terminated by One West due to Sea House's defaults.
• Relief from forfeiture was not granted, considering Sea House's poor conduct as a tenant.

Costs/Damages Awarded:

• One West was entitled to its legal costs on a solicitor-and-own-client basis against Sea House Ltd. and the two personal indemnitors.
• The court adjourned the application for special costs, but One West's entitlement to solicitor/client costs was affirmed.
