Relief under s253 was declined because the defendant provided no evidence of means to pay arrears and costs and was responsible for ongoing rent arrears to 2 December 2021, while the lessor bore primary responsibility for the building being boarded up from 2 December 2021 due to failure to repair a burst pipe allowing water ingress to the switchboard; accordingly plaintiff entitled to arrears up to 2 December 2021, lease cancelled and costs awarded.
