CARAVANS ACT (NORTHERN IRELAND) 1963 - SECT 1

1.(1) Subject to the provisions of this Act, an occupier of any land shall not
after the commencement of this Act cause or permit any part of the land to be
used as a caravan site unless he is the holder of a site licence (that is to
say, a licence under this Act authorising the use of land as a caravan site)
for the time being in force as respects the land so used.

(2) If the occupier of any land contravenes sub-section (1) he shall be guilty
of an offence and liable on summary conviction, where it is a first offence to
a fine not exceeding one hundred pounds, and, where it is a second or
subsequent offence, to a fine not exceeding two hundred and fifty pounds.

(3) In this Act "occupier" means, in relation to any land, the person who, by
virtue of an estate or interest therein held by him, is entitled to possession
thereof or would be so entitled except for the rights of any other person
under any licence (not amounting to a contract of tenancy) granted in respect
of the land, but where land of not more than four hundred square yards in area
is let under a tenancy entered into with a view to the use of the land as a
caravan site, "occupier" means in relation to that land the person who would
be entitled to possession of the land except for the rights of any person
under that tenancy.

(4) In this Act "caravan site" means land on which a caravan is stationed for
the purposes of human habitation and land which is used in conjunction with
land on which a caravan is so stationed.
