Eviction From A Private Land's Authorised Site In Cornwall In Cornwall

Parking up without permission on private land in Cornwall can also lead you to the trouble as the legal owner or the tenant can find out ways to evict you.

There can be situations where the landowner may not be aware that you are staying at their land in Cornwall unless someone from local community complains to them.

You should always have a discussion regarding occupying the Cornwall landowner's land with them and if your escapade does not bother anyone and that land in Camborne-Redruth, Truro, or Saint Austell is not being used, you will probably be allowed by the landowner to camp for some time.

If the legal occupier or landowner wants you to vacate from Cornwall, they can:

Apply to the Cornwall court for a possession order or interdict, which require you to vacate the land in Cornwall

Request action from the Cornwall council

Contact the police in Cornwall to evict you

Move you out themselves from Cornwall

Getting Evicted From Cornwall In Cornwall Due To A Possession Order

If you are situated on land that is private without the permission of the owner in Camborne-Redruth, Saint Austell, or Truro, the occupier or landowner can seek an eviction order in Cornwall from the sheriff's court to expel you from their land.

If this is the case, a court document known as a Summary Cause Summons will be sent to you in Cornwall, informing you the hearing date of your case in court.

Once you receive a summons, look for advice from a lawyer or Denbigh Franks.

You can contact your lawyer in Cornwall for help through the local Citizens Advice.

Because you're living on the property of the landlord in Cornwall, you're not likely to have any recourse when the matter comes to court, but a judge may be able to help you postpone the removal under humanitarian grounds in Cornwall, for example, because you can't move forward because someone in the family becomes sick.

When the eviction order is granted by the court, you have no option but to vacate the land in Cornwall.

Eviction In Cornwall, Cornwall, Using An Interdict

The interdict is an order from the civil court in Camborne-Redruth, Truro, or Saint Austell that tells someone to stay away from a place or person in Cornwall.

If an interdict is applied by a Cornwall landowner then you will be sent a notice from the court detailing what you are required to do by the interdict.

For instance, you can receive an interdict that prevents you from entering private land in Cornwall or orders you to vacate a site.

If you receive these papers, you will follow the same steps and contact the solicitor or a law centre in Cornwall.

You can also find information about the relevant solicitor in Cornwall with the help of your local Citizens Advice.

A solicitor will help you defend the action in court.

If things do well, the court in Truro, Camborne-Redruth, or Saint Austell may consider the inconveniences the eviction may cause.

For instance, if the interdict is going to cause great hardship to you and your household in Cornwall, the sheriff won't grant the interdict.

However, the Cornwall police can arrest you if the interdict is granted and you don't stick to the terms (for example, you didn't vacate the owner's land in Cornwall).

The Cornwall owner can also provide evidence of breaching the terms of the interdict which may attract imprisonment or fine.
