Abstract
It doesn’t happen often in New Zealand, but sometimes media use disreputable methods to obtain stories. One of these is trespass. Unauthorised entry on to another’s land is a trespass and is wrongful. The occupier of the land may bring a civil action for damages and, in some circumstances, a criminal prosecution may also result.
