Anti-capitalist protesters took over an empty office building owned by
investment bank UBS last night.

It is the latest defiance from Occupy London protestors who announced they
would legally challenge 24 hour eviction legal notices pinned to their
tents outside St Paul's Cathedral.

A group of around 30 protesters got into the three storey office block in
the heart of London's financial district with Occupy London taking
responsibility on its website today.

The anti capitalist movement said it took over the abandoned office block
in the neighborhood of Hackney in a 'public repossession' overnight.

Yesterday evening members of the group, stood in the windows looking down
on Sun Street, the City of London, which is opposite another UBS building.

One, with his face covered, tied himself to a window frame with rope and
sat on the ledge. When asked how they got in, one of the protesters
replied: 'Magic.'

Speaking about why they were occupying the disused building, a demonstrator
who wished not to be named, said: 'When the UBS security guards were
yelling at us we said we would give it back if they gave back the billion
dollars the stole from pensioners.

He added: 'We've got more people joining us from the rest of the UK and
Ireland tomorrow.'

Armed police and a police helicopter were at the scene of the occupation,
which is close to a similar occupation in Finsbury Square.

The City of London Corporation had told the protesters to move tents and
equipment from the public highway by 6pm last night or face High Court
action.

But instead of packing up, protesters were discussing putting up Christmas
decorations as they prepare for a lengthy legal battle.

Bailiffs had tied notes to some of the 200 tents pitched in the churchyard
telling activists to leave or face High Court action.

But protesters vowed to continue and a sign on one of the tents
yesterday declared:
‘Hell, no – we won’t go!’

The notice was issued a day after U.S. police cleared the Occupy Wall
Street camp in New York.
But lawyers warn the situation is more complex here due to human rights
laws and the eviction could drag on for months.

The Corporation had halted earlier court action to hold talks with
protesters. But policy chairman Stuart Fraser said the negotiations went
‘nowhere’.

Naomi Colvin, for Occupy London, insisted earlier this week the eviction
‘was not something we need to be remotely worried about’.

She added: ‘It could take months. We will contest it.’

The Mail told last month how thermal imaging cameras showed the camp
virtually empty at night. Even if the court action succeeds, the protest is
likely be continue in the churchyard during the day as long as nobody
pitches tents.

Adam Chapman, head of public law at Kingsley Napley, said the Human Rights
Act would make evicting London protesters a far more complex affair.

Before deciding whether to give the go-ahead to the eviction, a judge would
have to consider Article 10, which covers freedom of expression, and
Article 11, freedom of assembly, he said.

 ‘Any judgment would hinge on whether the interference with those rights is
"proportionate".

‘The protesters have in their favour that St Paul’s remains open and so
there is not a massive amount of disruption to the normal use of the land.

‘The Corporation of London also needs to decide if is just trying to remove
the camp, or to stop the protest altogether, which would be much more
difficult.

‘It is likely that we could get a situation where, even after the removal
of the tents, protests are allowed to continue outside St Paul’s during the
day.’

He said there were likely to be similarities with the attempts to evict the
protesters camped in Parliament Square which began in May 2010 but only
concluded ten months later in March this year.

The anti-capitalist protest at the Cathedral is part of a series in cities
across the globe which aim to highlight the inequalities caused by
mismanagement of the economy.

Demonstrators have been camped outside St Paul’s since October 15 after an
attempt to occupy the nearby London Stock Exchange failed.

The City of London Corporation halted earlier court action to hold talks
with protest organisers aimed at finding a compromise that would allow the
demonstrators to remain at the site until January if they removed some of
the tents.

After a humiliating internal row within the church which led to two high
profile resignations, St Paul’s Cathedral decided not to join the legal
action against the protesters.

A spokeswoman for St Paul’s said earlier this week: ‘We recognise the local
authority’s statutory right to proceed with the action.

‘We have always desired a peaceful resolution and the Canons will continue
to hold regular meetings with representative of the protesters.’
