Section 293: Defence of possession of real property or vessel with claim of

right
When a person is in peaceable possession of any land, structure, or vessel, with a
claim of right, it is lawful for him, and for any person acting by his authority, to use
such force as is reasonably necessary in order to defend his possession, even against a
person who is entitled by law to the possession of the property provided that he does
not do harm to such person.
