FAQ
Replevin is an action seeking return of personal property wrongfully taken or held by the defendant. In exchange for the personal property, the plaintiff in the action pledges a security and is allowed to hold the property until the case is resolved by the court.
Detinue is an action to recover the wrongful detention of goods or possessions.
The plaintiff may also receive other legal damages along with their personal property. Detinue is similar to replevin, but it is different in a major way. Replevin is based on a wrongful taking by the defendant. In contrast, detinue is based on a wrongful holding or retaining of the property by the defendant.
Alternative Legal Actions Other legal remedies may be more appropriate than a replevin action, depending on why the court denied the replevin action. These might include: An action for monetary damages. A claim for trespass to chattels, based on substantial interference with the use of your personal property.
Replevin lay to recover goods still held after a tender of amends. Detinue lay to recover lent goods where the holder refused to return them to the owner. However, the defendant was allowed to exculpate himself by oath, so this action was displaced by that of trover and conversion.
The process of starting a replevin action usually begins with filing a complaint. It also requires filing an affidavit in the county or district court where the property is. The affidavit: States that the plaintiff claims rightful ownership or entitlement to possession of the property.
When filing a replevin suit, the plaintiff must provide evidence that they are the rightful owner of the property in question and that it was taken without justification or consent.

Replevin can also refer to a writ authorizing the retaking of property by its rightful owner (i.e., the remedy sought by replevin actions). Replevin may be ordered as a final judgment, or in some jurisdictions, as a provisional remedy.
