Ask a solicitor: Should I be worried about trespassers on my land?

Trespassers are a significant worry for many landowners, writes rural solicitor Karen Walsh.

The duty owed to trespassers is set out in Section 4 of the Occupiers Liability Act 1995.

Dear Karen,

I am always concerned about trespassers coming on my land and making a claim against me. It seems very unfair that they possibly could. What is the law in relation to this?
