New page

'''Trespass''' is the wrongful act of going onto someone else's land without the permission of the owner. It is a crime, though usually only prosecuted if the trespasser refuses to leave after being told to do so.

Trespass is also a [[tort]]. The owner can sue for damages regardless of whether the trespasser realized that he was on someone else's land. This [[tort]] reflects the view of the [[English]] [[common law]] that property ownership is absolute.

 Trespass is also a [[tort]].  Under tort law, trespassing is separated into two branches: trespass to land and trespass to chattels.  The tort of trespass to land is generally the same as a criminal trespass.  The owner can sue for damages regardless of whether the trespasser realized that he was on someone else's land.  This [[tort]] reflects the view of the [[English]] [[common law]] that property ownership is absolute.  Trespass to chattels is a minor interference with a person's ownership or use of personal property.  More severe interference constitutes conversion.
