Question

A intends to hit B with ink and misses, but hits C's book instead, completely destroying the book. Can the defendant be held liable for conversion?

Answer 1

Yes

Step-by-step explanation:

the defendant can be held liable for conversion in this case. Conversion is the unauthorized use or control of another person's property, and here the defendant has used or controlled the book without the owner's permission, resulting in its destruction. The fact that the defendant did not intend to hit the book does not absolve them of liability.
