On the balance of probabilities the plaintiff proved conversion: the defendant wrongfully retained the plaintiff's car without a lawful justification; accordingly the plaintiff was entitled to damages equal to the car's value at mid‑December 1996 ($120,000), repayment of the $15,000 paid on account, and an award for taxi costs ($25,000), totalling $160,000; the defendant's counterclaim dismissed.
