Elmer v. M. Levy Co. of ShrevePort

MARVIN, Judge.

Defendant appeals from a judgment ordering it to surrender to plaintiffs certain movable property, including eight items of furniture, and to pay plaintiff, Mrs. Elmer, $1,500 in damages arising out of defendant’s conversion or detention of her property. We affirm.

Defendant no longer contests plaintiffs’ ownership of the property but contends that its actions did not constitute a wrongful conversion for which damages may be allowed and that in any event, the damages are excessive. Plaintiffs answer the appeal, seeking damages for Mr. Elmer and an increase in Mrs. Elmer’s damages.
