This Act provides for procedures for the removal of squatters from land. Any person who claims possession of land which he or she alleges is occupied by a person who entered into or remained in occupation without his or her licence or consent, or that of any predecessor in title, may make application to the Court to recover possession of the land. The Act also defines powers of the police force to enter on to land in the possession of trespassers and remove them and their belongings.
