JIM HANNAH, Chief Justice.
| lAppellant Newton W. Dorsett appeals an order of the Lafayette County Circuit Court awarding damages, attorney’s fees, and prejudgment interest to appellee Donald Buffington. On appeal, Dorsett argues that (1) Buffington’s action against Dorsett was barred by the doctrine of res judicata, (2) the award of damages is contrary to the law, (3) the award of prejudgment interest was in error, and (4) Buffington failed to prove conversion as a matter of law. We affirm in part and reverse in part.
