Article 30

No person shall be found guilty where he is in peaceable possession of property and uses force:

to prevent another person from unlawfully taking, or committing a trespass with respect to the property; or

to retake the property from a person who has just unlawfully taken it; or

in the case of property that is land, to remove a trespasser from the land.

Sub-Article (1) does not apply where the person:

intentionally kills or inflicts serious bodily injury on another person; or

uses more force than is reasonable for the purposes described in that subsection.
