Landlord Fails to Protect Deposit and Loses House

I don't usually start threads, so instead I'll just link to this one on another forum:
http://www.housepricecrash.co.uk/forum/index.php?showtopic=146492&st=0
Essentially a landlord tried to make what is allegedly an excessive claim on a tenants deposit, tenant sued for 3x deposit because the landlord failed to protect it in a scheme, won in court, landlord refused to pay up, and the court has now granted an order of sale for the landlords house to be sold to pay the debt.
I thought it was quite an interesting story.

If we all started threads every time a landlord/tenant won/lost a court case we'd be ploughing through them till.... well, actually, no, we'd probobly all stop reading the forum.
Sorry - I just don't get the point of the post. Yes, there are rip-off/dumb/criminal/lazy LLs out there.
And there are similar tenants.
and sometimes those LLs/tenats get their come-uppance.
