Er....thats what he usually says to me.....what goes around......

In U.K. there is no criminal offence of trespass on land (unless it is government or military land) nor even inside a property, including a person’s home, if it is just trespass only

Correct about no offence of trespass on land, wrong about trespass inside your home even if you don't steal anything.

If that was the case I would have been charged with assault,  GBH, and probably imprisoned, when someone got into our house and I had a quite word with them to show them the error of their ways....But as I was told by the cops he  trespassed and he shouldn't have been their.

Fagan wasn't charged for breaking into Buck house but he was sent to a mental hospital indefinitely, out now, at the time the reason he wasn't fully charged for breaking and entering was because he was such an embarrassment to the law they hushed it up as much as they could because the police and security made one hell of a cock up over Buck house security....And this is Eye on Spain not the UK.

Your right of course Baz.  

There are people with power of entry, and it was,  not too long ago that police constables didn’t have that right, community bobbies still don’t, people like public health inspectors (now environmental health officials) of a certain level do for example.   

Anyone in anyone’s house uninvited can be arrested and prosecuted as far as I’m aware, but hey, I’m not a policeman.  

The offence of burglary is now defined by section 9 of the Theft Act 1968 which now reads:

 (1) A person is guilty of burglary if—

(a)    he or she enters any building or part of a building as a trespasser and with intent to commit any such offence as is mentioned in subsection (2) below; or

(b)   having entered any building or part of a building as a trespasser he steals or attempts to steal anything in the building or that part of it or inflicts or attempts to inflict on any person therein any grievous bodily harm.

That means trespass alone is not a crime.

However,  here is some  light reading , for those who are not legally qualified, car mechanics, property surveyors , etc., but who would like to better informed:-

PS     I suggest if you want professional advce regarding a car you ask a mechanic not a lawyer or a detective

Is there only one law for this occasion John?

I understand a bailiff who enters a home uninvited is doing so illegally and the police can attend and if necessary arrest.  

What law covers that occasion, for example. 

Why are John and Brian posting about UK law. This is a situation in Spain, hence EYE ON SPAIN (EOS).

Please refrain from posting irrelevant comments which do not help, this is against forum rules.

Rules are for the guidance of the wise.   And the obedience of the idiot.  That’s what my old friend used to say.  

Mind you he also said it’s never afternoonuntil the pub shuts    So......

Apologises to the forum for this but it has to be said, johnzx you have twisted this around to suit yourself, no one has mentioned 'Burglary' it has been 'Trespass' totally different, for your outdated information from 50 years ago 'Trespass' into a home with no owners permission is called 'Illegal Trespass' and it is considered a crime, going to court over this is quite another story these days thanks to our dopey law enforcement, and outdated judges we now have, who in turn can't see anything wrong in a person raping a young girl because  'She deserved it'  by wearing a short skirt.

Your PS is really baffling because only a short while ago you yourself told me on this forum that you did indeed know more about the repair of cars then myself,  (Which I will point out I don't )  or the people I employ, who do, because you don't trust garages to do any type of honest repair work so you repaired cars for friends and so on, and now you say also don't trust a detective.

Wiki if you didn't know is very dubious in what its content is, due to the fact that anyone can write anything and include it within the website name.

Yes I know it's got nothing to do with Spain.
