CONVERSION BY RECEIVING The receiving of goods wrongfully being transferred is as much a conversion as the act of transferring same. Thus, where X without lawful authority transfers the plaintiff's chattel to the defendant, the mere voluntary reception of the chattel by the defendant constitutes conversion against the plaintiff even if the defendant may have acted innocently. Therefore, a buyer who receives goods from a seller who has no right to sell the goods is liable in conversion to the true owner. In the case of Lloyds Bank Ltd v. Chartered Bank; it was held that where a bank receives a check from the person who had no title to it and credits the proceeds to that person's account, the bank will be liable in conversion. The basis of liability in such cases is that the receiver, however innocent he may have been, has been a party to denial of the plaintiff's title and to the interference with the right to the possession of the goods. summarize this text in few sentences
