| 单词 | action of trover |
| 释义 | > as lemmasaction of trover The act of finding and assuming possession of any personal property; hence (in full, action of trover), an action at law to recover the value of personal property illegally converted by another to his own use. Originally the action was brought for damages against one who had found and refused to give up the goods of the plaintiff on demand; this refusal constituted ‘conversion’ (conversion n. 7); hence the action was called trover and conversion. Later, the finding became a legal fiction, and it was only necessary to prove the ownership and detention of the goods.
