I never comment directly on any particular case that's before the courts, or any fact situation. I'm satisfied that this law will clarify the circumstances under which an individual is entitled to defend their property.
Distinctions as to either ownership or how much possession you had unnecessarily complicated the defences of self-defence and the defence of property. So for me this was an easy sell when I was shown this and how it was difficult. I quoted you the one law enforcement agency that said let the courts figure it out. As far as the individual who should not be charged, and the individual who acted reasonably to protect themselves, their house, or their family, we don't want them in court in the first place. This only adds to the clogging of our courts. It's an additional expense to litigate these matters. We don't want to go there if the person has acted reasonably.
I'm satisfied that the clarifications of this law will address fact situations similar to the types you're giving to me, without commenting on any specific case.
