High Court determines that a company director must bear personal responsibility for 80% of a tenant's legal costs following the director's unlawful actions leading to the tenant's eviction and subsequent legal proceedings, finding that the director acted in bad faith and with impropriety, resisting the tenant's application to the point of necessitating her legal action; and despite the tenant's partial success in her legal arguments, the director's conduct and the exceptional nature of the case warranted the imposition of personal liability for costs.
