Forcible Entry. According to English law any person who enters on property, in order to take possession of it, with violence or intimidation is guilty of a misdemeanour. It is immaterial whether the person so entering has a right to the property or not. If a person wrongfully in possession detains property by violence or threats he is guilty of the offence known as forcible detainer.
