Eric Dunphy sued Star cross Builders because a few of the construction workers walked into his courtyard and drew water from his well without his knowledge. This caused no actual damage to Eric's property. Can this incident be considered a trespass?

What will be an ideal response?


Yes, this incident can be considered a trespass. Any entry by a person onto land in the possession of another is a trespass, unless the entry is done with the possessor's permission or is privileged. No actual harm to the property is necessary for trespass. However, if Eric cannot demonstrate loss, he is likely to only recover nominal damages.
