What is the purpose of the Trespass to Property Act?

  1. To criminalize the act of trespassing

  2. To allow occupiers of private premises to determine who is or isn't allowed on these premises

  3. To define the boundaries of public properties

  4. To protect trespassers from harm

The correct answer is: To allow occupiers of private premises to determine who is or isn't allowed on these premises

The purpose of the Trespass to Property Act is to allow occupiers of private premises to determine who is or isn't allowed on these premises. This means that it is not meant to criminalize the act of trespassing, as option A suggests. Option C, defining the boundaries of public properties, is also incorrect as this act specifically applies to private premises. Option D, protecting trespassers from harm, is also not the purpose of this act as it is meant to protect the rights of property owners and occupiers.
