Text of the Torts (Interference with Goods) Act 1977 as in force today (including any amendments) within the United Kingdom, from legislation.gov.uk.

The Torts (Interference with Goods) Act 1977 (c. 32) is an act of Parliament to amend the law in England, Wales and Northern Ireland [1] concerning conversion and other torts affecting goods. [2]

The passage of the law was prompted by the 18th Report of the Law Reform Committee, [3] although the scope of the legislation is considerably reduced from the recommendations of the report. [1] The act abolishes detinue [4] and attempts to simplify the remaining actions in tort. [5]
