I am preparing for a civil case in which a personal seat license ownership is not being transferred over to me by someone who is currently registered as the owner. When this seat license was originally purchased I paid for it back in 2002 but had the season ticket mailed to someone else out of convenience. It was generally expected that at some point in the future I would request the ownership change and have been trying to get the current owner to transfer the ownership back to me for 2 years now and they refuse to do that. I have many documents, especially emails, in which he has acknowledged me as the owner, but he won't fill out the necessary paperwork to make the transition. Hence, I need to use the court system for assistance in getting my personal seat license back.
The main question I have at this point is whether I file my case as replevin or detinue. I have already sent a demand letter to the defendant as a first step and in that demand letter I'm asking for the ownership transfer to be made or for the defendant to pay the market value of my PSL which is around an estimated $17,000.00. If my demand is not met I an going to file the complaint officially and am willing to accept one of the 2 possible outcomes noted above. So is this a replevin case or a detinue case? Which one would be the proper filing?
