Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Torts against property can indeed be intentional torts without the necessity of an accompanying tort against a person. The statement that torts against property cannot be intentional or are always categorized as negligent is incorrect. Torts such as trespass to land or conversion are examples of intentional torts against property.
