Yes, he committed an illegal eviction. You certainly can take him to court for your costs of moving, damage to your property (if you can prove it), etc.
To expand on Excon's response. Do you have proof that it was your residence? Driver's License, utility bills, rent receipts, Mail addressed to you at that address, etc.? Once you provide proof that the house was your residence, then you need to show that you no longer live there, which is easy. The burden of proof now shifts to him to show that he legally evicted you and that means showing a court order allowing him to do so. Which he obviously can't do. so its pretty much a slam dunk.
