Hyman v. Wellman Enterprises, Inc.

HUFF, Judge:

This is an action for conversion of electrical equipment installed in a building. Appellant, M.A. Hyman, brought this suit against respondent, Industrial Contractors, Inc., after Industrial Contractors removed several items of an upgraded electrical system from a building that Hyman purchased from John G.
