KembaraXtra – Legal Terms – In Personam
In personam describes legal rights or court actions directed against a specific person rather than against property. Most contractual and tortious claims operate in personam, as they impose obligations on identifiable individuals or entities.
The concept is especially significant in equity, where courts traditionally acted against the conscience of the defendant. Remedies such as injunctions and specific performance are classic examples of in personam enforcement.
