Squatting (which is what this is) isn't a bloody hobby .. it's illegal occupation.

No one in their right mind in this situation would not attempt to argue that they owned or had any similar right to occupy the land .. they were trespassing ffs.
The 'crime' was a given. The legal arguments were whether the illegal occupation could be justified by some other nebulous stretching of Human Rights legislation.
