LANDLORD AND TENANT ACT 1899 - SECT 30

30 Act not to protect persons who have no legal right

(1) No such warrant, nor anything herein contained, shall protect any landlord by whom, or for or on whose behalf, any such warrant for the delivery of possession of any land is obtained as aforesaid, from any action which may be brought against him or her by any person in possession of such land, or any part thereof, for or in respect of any entry upon or taking possession thereof, under or by virtue of any such warrant, where such landlord at the time of executing the same has not, as against such person in possession, lawful right to the possession thereof.

(2) In all such cases as last aforesaid such landlord shall be liable in respect of such entry and taking possession in like manner as if the same had been made or taken by him or her, or by his or her direction without the authority of any such warrant.

(3) Nothing herein contained shall prejudicially affect any rights to which any person may be entitled as out-going tenant by the custom of the country or otherwise.
