520 _aDiscusses how the Human Rights Act 1998 has affected squatters' rights and made it more difficult for owners to regain possession from unlawful occupiers. This is because the CA case "Qazi v Harrow LBC" [2001] approved the concept of 'home' within the meaning of the European Convention on Human Rights Article 8 and encouraged squatters to stand their ground. However, argues that the vast majority of cases involving squatters and possession proceedings should not be treated differently than before the Human Rights Act 1998 came into force. With an explanation of how trespassers have to satisfy the home test under Article 8. Case law.
