6.06.090 Conversion

(a) Conversion is an intentional exercise of control or control over personal property which so seriously interferes with the right of another to control it that the actor may justly be required to pay the other the full value of the personal property.

(b) In determining whether a conversion has been committed, the following factors shall be considered:

(1) the extent and duration of the actor's exercise of control;

(2) the actor's intent to assert a right, in fact, inconsistent with the owner's right of control;

(3) the actor's good faith;

(4) the extent and duration of the resulting interference with the owner's right of control;

(5) the harm done to the personal property;

(6) the inconvenience and expense caused to the owner.
