Opinion of the Court

PER CURIAM.

Applying the principle that the fact that one is acting as a corporate representative does not insulate him from individual liability for his tortious acts, we reverse the judgment below which dismissed the complaint for conversion and fraud and mispre-sentation as against the defendant-appellee Swartz.
