Trespass is also a [[tort]]. Under tort law, trespassing is separated into two branches: trespass to land and trespass to chattels. The tort of trespass to land is generally the same as a criminal trespass. The owner can sue for damages regardless of whether the trespasser realized that he was on someone else's land. This [[tort]] reflects the view of the [[English]] [[common law]] that property ownership is absolute. Trespass to chattels is a minor interference with a person's ownership or use of personal property. More severe interference constitutes conversion.
