No, the two are completely different legal concepts and have nothing to do with one another. A broken, or breach of contract falls under the law on contracts. Conversion, or civil theft, falls under the law of torts. The remedy for a breach of contract is to give the non-breaching party damages so that he gets the benefit of his original bargain. The remedy for conversion is compensatory damages in the amount of the value of the item converted plus, perhaps punitive damages, since conversion is an intentional tort.
