Rules for emptying squats now established
Squatters can only be evicted from illegally-occupied buildings after they have had a chance to fight the eviction in court, the High Court ruled on Friday.
‘The public prosecution department must announce the eviction on time and wait for the outcome of an injunction hearing,’ the court said.
Squatting has been illegal in the Netherlands since October 2010.
