A court action to recover possession of property unlawfully taken or detained. Title to the property must be in the person bringing the act’ >n. Thus if title passes to the buyer and the seller refuses to deliver the goods, the buyer may bring an action in replevin to get possession of the goods. Or the seller, under a conditional sale contract by which he or she retains title to the goods until payment is made, may recover the goods by an action in replevin if the buyer does not make the payments called for by the contract.
