quasi in rem
judgment
Quick Summary
A quasi in rem judgment is a court decision that affects a specific party's interest in a particular property or thing that is under the court's jurisdiction. This is distinct from an in rem judgment, which affects the interests of all persons in a specific property, and an in personam judgment, which imposes personal liability on a party. For a court to issue a valid judgment, it must have jurisdiction over the persons or things involved in the case, which can be obtained through seizure or attachment of property.1
