Question

When the defendant's property located within a state is seized to obtain payment of a judgment from a court from another state that is unrelated to the property being seized, the jurisdiction over the property is known as __________ jurisdiction.

Answer 1

Answer:

The correct word for the blank space is: quasi in rem.

Explanation:

A quasi in rem jurisdiction is provided to a court to use the property of a defendant so the court can use the property of that defendant in a state where it does not have jurisdiction as part of the payment for damages caused in the state where the claim took place. A quasi in rem jurisdiction is typically provided when the defendant does not live in the state where the events that lead to the claim happened.
