Section 165: Rights of entry: supplementary provisions
269.This section requires an authorised person entering land under section 163 or 164 to produce evidence, if requested, of the authority and state the purpose for entry before entering the land. It also allows an authorised person to take other persons as necessary and, if when the authorised person leaves, the owner or occupier is not present, the section requires the authorised person to take steps to ensure the land is left as effectively secured against trespassers as it was found.
270.This section provides that an offence is committed if someone wilfully obstructs a person authorised to enter land under section 163 or 164. Compensation for any damage caused by an authorised person on the land may be recovered from the authority that authorised the right of entry.
