Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Conversion occurs when someone intentionally takes or uses someone else's personal property without permission, and the owner's rights are seriously violated. The finder who refuses to return a lost property to the loser is committing an act of intentional interference with another's property rights and is therefore liable for the tort of conversion.
