    CONVERSION AND DETINUE

    The tort of conversion


    Trespass as a tort can be committed against property and goods. However, in contrast, the tort
    of conversion can only be applied to goods. Conversion involves a voluntary act, causing
    interference against another person’s goods. Furthermore, conversion can also be committed
    even when a person has no intention to commit the tort.

    Conversion – unlike trespass – does not require a direct link to be established for a person to
    commit the tort, as an indirect link is considered sufficient for a finding of a breach under
    certain circumstances.

    The final element of conversion is if the person who is committing the tort, purports to deal
    with the goods that belong to another party for their benefit which may involve the selling,
    giving away, or lending of goods in which the tortfeasor has no legal title over.

    The tort of detinue


    Similar to conversion, detinue is also a tort that can only be committed against a good, rather
    than property.

    When someone commits a tort of detinue, they are considered to be wrongfully withholding
    goods from a person that has an immediate right of possession.

    The other element of detinue is that the person committing the wrongful act is also denying
    the innocent party rightful possession of their property, and with full knowledge of the
    person’s rights to their goods. The final element of detinue is if the tortfeasor fails to deliver
    the goods as required by law.
