Holding

The application and hearing notice were properly served upon the landlord, and the orders made on June 15, 2021, are regular and not liable to be set aside.

Facts

The landlord sought to set aside orders issued on June 15, 2021, and the consequential orders, alleging improper service of the application and hearing notice. The tenant opposed the application, asserting proper service via email.

Issues

  1. Whether the landlord was properly served with the application and hearing notice.
  2. Who is liable to pay costs of the application.

Reasoning

The landlord's email address was used for service of the lease agreement on January 2019, and there was no evidence of non-delivery of the email. The court found the application misconceived, frivolous, vexatious, and an abuse of court process.

Outcome

Application dismissed with costs to the tenant.
