N.W.T. MLAs say trespass law is urgent, civil liberties lawyer cautious
N.W.T. trespass legislation could make it easier to remove uninvited guests who bring drugs or crime into communities. MLAs and the public say there is broad support for the legislation, but that giving arrest powers to agencies other than police is complex, and must consider vulnerable groups.

Nearly three-quarters of England’s woods inaccessible to public, study finds

Exclusive: Campaigners call for government to introduce right-to-roam bill that allows people to walk around their local woodlands

The Guardian

In #Castlebar, few people want to go on the record about the #BurkeFamily.

The town's fundamentalist fugitives #MartinaBurke and #AmmiBurke are nowhere to be seen. The duo are sentenced to a fortnight of imprisonment for #ContemptOfCourt, like Ammi's brother #EnochBurke who is held indefinitely held for repeated #trespass.

#JusticeCregan called it a "family circus". Who wants to be caught up in that?

SHORT THREAD: On Monday, extremist #transphobe #EnochBurke was returned to prison for continued #ContemptOfCourt, by #trespass at #WilsonsHospital school.

At the #HighCourt #IEHC, #MrJusticeCregan released his written judgment on Tuesday. #CreganJ was again blunt about Burke's "performative nonsense", "avalanche of lies", and legal self-harm.

CreganJ repeated that "Burke has the keys to his own prison"; and can be released if he promises not to trespass.

@christineburns And that's why I admire the jurisprudence of #Cregan . Given the huge holes in legal frameworks, he has used a rather Tory approach to property rights as a basis of liberty.

He has labelled the offence as #trespass, but his application of it protects secular freedom of conscience and freedom from harassment. I reckon that #JusticeCregan has done a good job with inadequate tools.

Sorry this reply turned out to be so long. I got a bit carried away thinking out loud.

@christineburns I do take your important point about the focus on property rights rather than hate. To be fair, the judgments in #EnochBurke have taken a much broader view of #trespass as an inujry to the whole school community rather than just to property rights; but it's true that trespass is a concept founded in property law rather than civil liberty or personal safety. Not a great starting point.

But it's still an interesting approach.
