They can only sue you if the actually survive to tell the tale. And hungry pigs eat absolutely anything they are fed.
Your average villan these days has more rights then you, for example fitting sharpened spikes to a fence or punji pits or electrifying things is classed as a man trap, so if old lefty is hopping over the back fence with your dvd player under his arm and get electrocuted through his dangly bits, he can sue you for damages and you can really do bugger all about it.
Home invasion is another touchy subject, a man should be able to use all necessary force to protect his property, not so, you can sit back and call the cavalry while your house is being raided and this that and the other but if you gonk one on the head as hes coming in or out the window and you hurt him, he can sue you.
If a crim is ransacking your house and trips over your cat or coffee table and busts an arm or leg or some other injury, he has the right to sue.
The same applies for your yard, if old lefty is high tailing it through your yard carrying your 6 pack with a mad staffy in pursuit and trips over that old ford 6 you forgot to dump and the dog proceeds to have his lunch, your in so much trouble, the dog is dead, your in court.
We have a crazy postie some time ago he took a short cut over the yard next door and swiped a bush and he fell off his bike and spewed letters everywhere, he tried to sue the bloke for having a tree that impeded his progress, his progress is the footpath not the lawn.
They try it on everywhere these days, its really quiet funny to read up on laws and just how they go against you, obviously crime does pay!

If you find youself with an intruder in the house - and you manage to get the upper hand, beat the dirty scum to an inch of their life.
When the cops arrive, proclaim the intruder trip on a hose or fell down the stairs.
Intruder gets arrested, hopefully unconscience. You get a bravery award![]()
About 15 years ago a Bulimba resident came home from work mid-afternoon to find his front door open and two dark skinned teenagers ransackingthe premises. one of them went for him with a knife. Bad idea. The householder was a waterfront veteran, ship's painter and docker, and armed with a steel bottomed Gladstone bag and steel toed boots. The two housebreakers soon found out that being in a confined space with a hard man who had survived worse Friday night brawls in the union hall was not good for their health. The police were called by a neighbour, after two battered teenagers were thrown out on the footpath. Taken by ambulance to the PA Hospital with abrasion, contusions, a few minor broken bones, and one case of partly crushed family jewels requiring urgent surgery to avoid life as a gelding. Aboriginal Legal Service lawyer screaming blue murder and threatening all kinds of action until being made aware by police just who it was the two had assaulted, and who defended himself vigorously in fear of his life, and being informed that he had mates who were very hard men who would no doubt extract revenge according to the code of the dockers should any action be taken against the householder. Nothing more ever heard.

Yep just beat the seven shades out of them, to solve the problem of them sueing you break their jaw and both hands. Can't talk can't sign a statement
I feel sorry for the cops they spend their time finding these scum bags and then they get let off in court because of whatever reason, especially if their black, and no I'm not being racist that's just the way it is.
I thought the laws (I mean the legal ones not the law of the jungle) had been amended in the last few years so a home owner was allowed to use 'reasonable force' to eject home invaders and they were not responsible for their health and safely while pilfering?
But perhaps I just dreamt it.![]()
I was informed some years ago after executing a citizens arrest that u can only meet force with force.
EG if hit hit back and so on?
I just explained to the burglar that if he moved I would beat the c??P out of him and toss him over the fence into the school next door and call an ambulance declairing I knew nothing but heard a fight going on.
needless to say he did not budge, did I mention that I am over 6ft and quite wide in the shoulders/ex martial arts and so on also have ex SAS parentwell trained.
Police booked him with more offences than I knew existed.
PS This young man went on to be involved with a local seige and bomb threat.
Still incacerated to this day.
I say pay out and let the court decide??
after all the Police cant as hands tied.
Would not want their job for all the rovers in UK.
Take my hat off to them all.Great job/ except for Kojak with Kodak they need to concentrate on school zones and not @ the bottom of hills out of town.![]()
Well, this is the South Australian version of the law,
"Defence of property A person is entitled to use such conduct as he or she genuinely believes is necessary to defend property from being taken, destroyed, damaged or interfered with; to prevent criminal trespass; or to arrest someone unlawfully at large - as long as the conduct was reasonably proportionate to the threat the defendant genuinely believed to exist (see also: Home invasion), and if the conduct resulted in death, the defendant did not act recklessly or intend to cause death."
NSW, Lawyers out to help the thief?? George Sten & Co Sydney - your rights under arrest
Interesting...Home Invasion, Burglary & Theft
Introduction
Home Invasion, Burglary and Theft cases are all property offences. These crimes are dealt with in the District Court. The severity of these crimes increases where there are aggravating circumstances. If charged with one of these offences you must attend court and hiring a lawyer to represent you is strongly recommended.

sorry to inform you but the law has been the same for centuries not a new event caused by social do gooders
Its never been legal to set man traps on your property, 18Century Landowners and Game Wardens were jsut as peeved they couldnt have bear traps set for poachers in their forests as you are not to be able to maim burglars.
Its never been lawful to use excessive force in defence of property or another person, what is reasonable force is a subjective question determined by the courts.
Just because the bad man is doing something wrong doesn't give you the right to kill or harm him, that is a job for society through the court system.
