The ...The judgment is for a tort called conversion. The original claim against me was for a tort called malicious prosecution, but that was dismissed and never went to a jury. I'm going to be writing more about this in next few days, but conversion is essentially a civil form of theft. For example, if you let me borrow your bicycle and I refuse to give it back, you probably would have a case against me for conversion. In most conversion cases, the taking is lawful (you let me use your bike), but the property is not returned as it should be. That's why it isn't criminal theft; that involves unlawful taking. As nutty as this sounds, I was found liable for conversion because I picked up objects off my yard, put them in a bag in my garage, and no one ever claimed them. When someone projects the objects onto your yard (which is a civil trespass), and then never claims them, that cannot possibly be conversion. Also, by definition, you have to use the property for your own benefit for it to be conversion. I didn't use this property, I just cleared it off my yard. But we're talking about Alabama courts here. Also, the conversion claim was added by my neighbor a mere 65 days past the deadline for amending his lawsuit. In other words, the claim had to be struck by law. But judges allowed it. Will have more details on blog, but that's the short version.legalschnauzerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09619089628125964154noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3669412675139526125.post-87509429950739682762008-05-06T08:46:00.000-05:002008-05-06T08:46:00.000-05:00Just curious,,what is the judgement about??I have ...Just curious,,what is the judgement about??I have never read why you have it..Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
