In 1994, Elaine Ives-Cameron wrote an article for The Independent newspaper about difficulties in the reclaiming of her house in the U.K., which she had first let, and which was then occupied by squatters. The article provides a good example of the problems of eviction of squatters at that time, and looks forward to the publication of the Criminal Justice and Public Order Act 1994.[3][4] The Act contains provisions for the eviction of squatters within twenty-four hours.
