UKCA 150 ER 1538

Patrick v Colerick

This case relates to Article 49 of DIFC Law No. 5/2005.

If A take B's goods and place them on his own land, B may enter to retake them; and a plea alleging these facts, is a good justification in trespass for the entry.

A plea to a declaration in trespass for breaking and entering plaintiff's close, that defendant being possessed of certain goods, plaintiff, without his leave and against his will, took the goods and placed them on the close in the declaration mentioned, wherefore defendant made fresh pursuit, and entered to retake the goods, is a good plea, and a good justification of the entry on plaintiff's close.
