What are the elements of conversion and how have the courts dealt with conversion claims?

California, United States of America

The following excerpt is from Civic Partners Stockton, LLC v. Youssefi, C077028 (Cal. App. 2018):

Although Civic says there was no evidence that Youssefi did not reproduce the plans before returning them, the elements of conversion are (1) the plaintiff's ownership or right to possess property, (2) the defendant's conversion by wrongful act or disposition of property rights, and (3) damages. (Lee v. Hanley (2015) 61 Cal.4th 1225, 1240.) The complaint alleged Youssefi converted the plans by using them in the tax credit application. Youssefi defeated that claim.
