Quasi in rem is a legal concept that involves jurisdiction over property rather than individuals. In legal proceedings, it allows a court to assert authority over a person’s property located within its jurisdiction, even if the individual themselves are not present within that jurisdiction. This type of jurisdiction is often utilised in cases involving disputes over property rights, debts, or claims against the property itself. Quasi in rem actions typically involve seizing or attaching property to secure a claim or judgment against the property owner.
