The Tort of Conversion.

What is it about?

This book, co-authored with Sarah Green, offers a coherent and accessible rationalisation of the subject, supported by rigorous analysis of all aspects, from title to sue to the available remedies. Its principal thesis is that the development of Conversion has somewhat stagnated, and in consequence the tort has so far been unable to fulfil either its theoretical or its practical potential as a legal device. The book presents Conversion as a useful and important tort, well suited to the demands of contemporary law and commerce and offers a principled framework for its future development.

Why is it important?

The legal and commercial importance of the tort of Conversion is difficult to overstate, and yet there remains a sense that its principles are elusive. No systematic examination of this tort in England appears ever to have been carried out previously.
