TENANTS NOW HAVE THE RIGHT TO DEFEND THEIR HOMES FROM TRESPASSERS

On January 19, 2009, Mr. Thiele set a new precedent at the Ontario Landlord and Tenant Board. Mr. Thiele’s client was found to have the right to use significant physical force against a guest who had become a trespasser after being asked to leave. Notwithstanding criminal charges against his client, Mr. Thiele’s client won his case and was not evicted from his home. Ottawa Personal Injury Lawyers - Plant Quinn Thiele LLP – www.pqtlaw.com
