Motion for Summary Judgment. In Aida's case above, assume that Haul-Away was properly served and Aida was allowed to proceed with the lawsuit against Haul-way for allegedly committing the tort of conversion, which is an intentional act deprives the owner of personal property without the owner's consent. Despite evidence indicating that Aida told the moving company numerous time not to touch her belongings, the trial court granted Haul-Away's motion for summary judgment. The court held that Aida failed to show that Haul-Away intentionally deprived her of her belongings. Haul-Away claimed they thought the items belonged to the landlord and they had the landlord's permission to remove the items, and because they didn't know the item belonged to Aida, they could not have intentionally deprive her of her belongings. Aida appealed. Was the trial court correct in its decision to grant Haul-Away's motion for summary judgment?
