Blocking car on private land - criminal offence?

nyermen said:It does beg the question of whether there is any liability on the part of the trespasser.
Eg what if OP had building works (or driveway works) planned, and those couldn't happen as a result? Could you charge your subsequent losses to the trespasser? In which case, what if you're blocked in by someone, can you claim for travel costs eg. taxi (considering sensible costs of course)
"oh what a shame you blocked my drive, I had a contract with a builder (who happens to be my mate) with a £200 deposit that he would work on repairing my driveway today, and if I broke the contract, then I lose the deposit."
Given that the person parking there had no way of knowing what plans you had for the driveway, I don't think such a claim would get anywhere.
If it sticks, force it.
If it breaks, well it wasn't working right anyway.0 -
What if they parked there just before you had 10 tonnes of sand delivered ?
