What can be done?

It depends on the nature of the trespass; a Sunday walker for example who happens across your land is not a prime candidate for hurling civil rights law at. However if an individual chooses to make use of your land on a regular basis, either by passing and re-passing, parking a vehicle or trailer, or any such similar repeated breech then the courts can provide injunctive relief.

Injunctive relief is an order made by the courts against such a trespasser limiting them and their property, where relevant, from repeating such trespass. Once such an injunction has been issued, the trespass becomes a criminal offence (contempt of court) and is subject to fines and in extreme situations, custodial sentencing.
