CaseChat Overview and Summary

The case of C&C Investment Properties Pty Ltd v Yichen Sydney Pty Ltd involves a dispute over a retail lease. The applicant, C&C Investment Properties Pty Ltd, is the owner of a property which was leased to Yichen Sydney Pty Ltd. The lease included a term that the lessee would make good the premises at the determination of the lease. The dispute arose when the lessee failed to make good the premises and failed to pay arrears of rent. The applicant brought proceedings against the lessee and the guarantors of the lease, seeking payment of the arrears of rent, damages for breach of the term to make good the premises, and other costs.

The court had to determine whether the lessee was liable for arrears of rent and damages for breach of the term to make good the premises at the determination of the lease. The court also had to determine whether the guarantors were liable to the assignee of the reversion of the lease for arrears of rent and damages. The court found that the lessee was liable for arrears of rent and damages for breach of the term to make good the premises at the determination of the lease. The court also found that the guarantors were liable to the assignee of the reversion of the lease for arrears of rent and damages.

The court found that the lessee had breached the lease by failing to make good the premises at the determination of the lease. The court found that the guarantors had guaranteed the lessee's obligations under the lease and were therefore liable for any breaches of the lease by the lessee. The court found that the assignee of the reversion of the lease was entitled to recover arrears of rent and damages from the lessee and the guarantors. The court ordered that the respondents, Yichen Sydney Pty Ltd, Yongmei Mao and Yang Chen, are to pay the applicant, C&C Investment Properties Pty Ltd, the sum of $100,423.99 immediately.
