Question

Leo, a resident of Missouri, owns a warehouse in Nebraska. A dispute arises over the ownership of the warehouse with Opal, a resident of Kansas. Opal files a suit against Leo in Nebraska. Regarding this suit, Nebraska has:_______
a. diversity jurisdiction.
b. in personam jurisdiction.
c. in rem jurisdiction.
d. no jurisdiction.

Answer 1

Regarding this suit, Nebraska has in rem jurisdiction.

Explanation:

It  is the legal term which defines the power over real or private property or the rights of an individual about whom the judge has no jurisdiction in personal.

For example, if a divorce couple wants a court to control its family home transactions, the court has access to the property.

Judgement in rem is a decision on the nature of a certain subject matter, or taken in a property case, with no knowledge of the claimant or of others involved in the land.
