Action in rem
Action in rem is an action against the thing itself, instead of against the person. In an in rem action,
which is an action brought directly against a property interest, a state can validly proceed to settle
controversies with regard to rights or claims against tangible or intangible property within its
borders, notwithstanding that jurisdiction over the defendant was never established. Action in
personam
An action in personam is said to be one which has for its object a judgment against the person, as
distinguished from a judgment against the property to determine its state. It has been held that an
action in personam is a proceeding to enforce personal rights or obligations; such action is brought
against the person.
In an action quasi in rem, an individual is named as defendant and the purpose of the proceeding is
to subject his interests therein to the obligation or loan burdening the property. Actions quasi in rem
deal with the status, ownership or liability of a particular property but which are intended to operate
on these questions only as between the particular parties to the proceedings and not to ascertain or
cut off the rights or interests of all possible claimants. The judgments therein are binding only upon
the parties who joined in the action.
