It is merely an index of other Sections in which the rules are stated. This Section should be read together with s 222 A, under which any of the types of conduct listed in this Section is a conversion only if it amounts to an intentional exercise of dominion or control over the chattel, and so seriously interferes with another's right of control as to make it just to require the actor to pay the full value of the chattel. This Section is not intended to state that any conduct is necessarily a conversion, but only that it may be. This Section does not purport to state the conditions under which the conduct subjects the actor to liability, which are covered in ss 225-242. The conditions under which the conduct may be privileged are stated in Chapter 10.
Conversion is always an intentional exercise of dominion or control over the chattel.
Mere non-feasance or negligence, without such an intent, is not sufficient for conversion. If the actor has the intent to do the act exercising dominion or control, however, he is not relieved from liability by his mistaken belief that he has possession of the chattel or the right to possession, or that he is privileged to act.
