Court held plaintiffs entitled to recover adjusted rent for COVID periods: 70% of rent/outgoings for Alert Level 3 and 60% for Alert Level 4 (specific sums awarded), interest at 12% from 1 August 2020 on those sums, full recovery of removal and premises reinstatement costs and legal costs; the s245 notices were not invalid despite overstating amounts; plaintiff's claim for loss of future rent after re-entry was rejected in part because plaintiff failed to mitigate; all defendants' counterclaims dismissed.
