Teel v. Public Service Co. of Oklahoma

SUMMERS, Justice,

dissenting:

I respectfully dissent from the court’s election to impose the law of conversion upon controversies of this nature. I would permit Teel to recover by way of “balancing” under the doctrine of restitution. Beren v. Harper Oil Co., 546 P.2d 1356 (Okla.App.1975); Earp v. Mid-Continent Petroleum Corp., 167 Okl. 86, 27 P.2d 855 (1933); Moody v. Wagner, 167 Okl. 99, 23 P.2d 633 (1933).

I am authorized to state that LAVENDER and SIMMS, JJ., join in the views expressed herein,
