Partington v Pacific Link Community Housing Ltd

In *Partington v Pacific Link Community Housing Ltd*, the appellant sought urgent interlocutory relief, including reinstatement to premises from which he had been evicted, pending the hearing of his appeal. The respondent sought security for costs and orders regulating communications between the parties. The matter came before Ward JA in the Court of Appeal of New South Wales.

The primary legal issues before the Court were whether the appellant was entitled to an interlocutory mandatory injunction for his reinstatement to the premises, whether the respondent should be granted security for its costs, and what orders, if any, should be made regarding communications between the parties in relation to the proceedings. The appellant also raised grounds concerning bias, though the specific nature of these grounds is not detailed in the provided text.

Ward JA dismissed the appellant's application for reinstatement, indicating that the threshold for such an injunction was not met. The Court ordered that the appellant provide security for the respondent's costs. Furthermore, specific orders were made concerning the individuals to whom, and the manner in which, correspondence or communications relating to these proceedings should be directed. The costs of the various motions were awarded in favour of the respondent.
