==Offence Wording==

; Forcible entry

72 (1) A person commits forcible entry when that person enters real property that is in the actual and peaceable possession of another in a manner that is likely to cause a breach of the peace or reasonable apprehension of a breach of the peace.

; Matters not material

(1.1) For the purposes of subsection (1) {{AnnSec0|72(1)}}, it is immaterial whether or not a person is entitled to enter the real property or whether or not that person has any intention of taking possession of the real property.

; Forcible detainer

(2) A person commits forcible detainer when, being in actual possession of real property without colour of right, he detains it in a manner that is likely to cause a breach of the peace or reasonable apprehension of a breach of the peace, against a person who is entitled by law to possession of it.

; Questions of law

(3) The questions whether a person is in actual and peaceable possession or is in actual possession without colour of right are questions of law.

# {{box}} the culprit entered real property;

# {{box}} real property must be in possession of another person;

# {{box}} possession must be both actual and peaceable;

# {{box}} entry of the property must be such that it is likely to cause a breach of the peace or reasonable apprehension of a breach of the peace.

# {{box}} the culprit was in "actual possession of real property"

# {{box}} the possession was "without colour of right"

# {{box}} the culprit detained it "in a manner that is likely to cause a breach of the peace or reasonable apprehension of a breach of the peace, against a person who is entitled by law to possession of it."

==Interpretation of the Offence==

The breach of the peace must "flow from the manner in which possession of the real property is taken and not from subsequent events."<ref>

There is no need to prove that the accused intended to take possession of the real property.<ref>

There is no need to prove that the entry was done in a violent manner.<ref>

The offence requires "some violence, or threatened violence, upon someone in occupation" and it must be in "the presence of someone who might resist."<ref>
