Proceeding contribution from Chris Bryant (Labour) in the House of Commons on Friday, 2 December 2005. It occurred during Debate on bill on Criminal Law (Amendment) (Protection of Property) Bill.
Criminal Law (Amendment) (Protection of Property) Bill
Is not the other problem with the concept of trespass the fact that the tort of trespass originally related to land—and still primarily does in law—rather than to buildings? I know that the concept of trespass in a building comes from the Theft Act 1968, but the situation is none the less confusing.
