In many lawsuits there are several causes of action stated separately, such as fraud, breach of contract, and debt, or negligence and intentional destruction of property.
Under California law, the elements required to prove a claim of conversion are: (1) the plaintiff's ownership or right to possession of the property; (2) the defendant's conversion by a wrongful act or in a manner that is inconsistent with the plaintiff's property rights; and (3) resulting damages.
For example, a person who picks up a necklace off the ground with the intent to resell it because they erroneously believed it was abandoned still converted that necklace. The standard remedy for conversion is return of the property in question or damages for the fair market value of the property.
To establish a conversion claim, a plaintiff must prove that: it had a possessory interest in the property, the defendants intentionally interfered with the plaintiff's possession, and. the defendants' acts are the legal cause of the plaintiff's loss of property.
