The squatter will appear in court at some point

Wow, really, the law actually did something. Oh right, they are rich.
Yes! Good! This squatters' rights thing needs a complete reset. Looks like there's progress.
Charles Dalrymple-ChumleyMy thoughts entirely. Either the owner or more probably his solicitor know people in very high places.
Good to see the action taken. All home owners are at risk from squatters on the island and with current legislation they can't count on the authorities' support to re-possess their home.
