Questions clients ask
What is the Illegal Dispossession Act?
It provides a remedy against those who unlawfully take or occupy property, through a complaint before the Sessions Court.
Can the court stop a sale during the dispute?
Yes, where the requirements for an injunction are met, the court can restrain transfer or construction until the matter is decided.
Should I also go to the police?
It depends on the facts. Where criminal conduct like forgery is involved, there may be both criminal and civil remedies.
