Can an ‘occupier’ of land sue an ‘intruder’ for trespass?

Reported by Michael Murungi

Land Law - trespass – right to sue in trespass – whether a mere possessor who is not the owner of land can have a cause of action in trespass against an intruder

Issue:

Can an ‘occupier’ of land sue an ‘intruder’ for trespass?

Held:

The High Court erred in its conclusion that only an ‘owner’ of land had the right to use in trespass.
(Quoting with approval Winfield & Jolowicz, Tort, 12th Edn. P. 361):
Possession in fact confers no actual right of property, but a possessor may nevertheless maintain trespass against anyone who interferes who cannot himself show that he has the right to recover possession immediately.
A stranger cannot rely in his defence upon another person’s right to possess (the “jus tertii”) unless he can prove that he acted with that person’s authority. Even wrongful possession, such as that acquired by a squatter, will, in principle, be protected except against the owner of the land or someone acting lawfully on his behalf.”

Appeal allowed.
