I don't think that the comparison with Trespass to chattels is correct. The difference (in my understanding) is that TTC requires that the owner be in possession at the time the chattel is interfered with. However with conversion, possession is not necessary, there only needs to be an immediate right to possession. Eg. I lend you my bike for a week and you destroy it, as soon as I have a right to get it back a week later I can sue you in conversion, but I can't sue you in TTC b/c I didn't have possession at the time. However, if I kept my bike in the garage and you came over and destroyed it, I could sue you either in TTC or conversion. PullUpYourSocks 22:18, 11 Dec 2004 (UTC)

Um, this page says nothing about which legal systems or jurisdictions it is describing, without which it is of limited use.
