The following is a definition of In Personam (Against the Person), produced by Tetley, in the context of admiralty law: A type of legal proceedings directed against the defendant personally (e.g. an action for breach of contract, the commission of a tort or delict or the possession of property). Where an action in personam is successful, the judgment may be enforced against all of the defendant’s assets, real and personal, moveable and immoveable. See Tetley, M.L.C., 2 Ed., 1998 at pp. 958-985. The jurisdiction of a court to try actions in personam is referred to as the court’s in personam jurisdiction. See Tetley, Int’l. C. of L., 1994 at p. 795; Tetley, Int’l. M. & A. L., 2003 at pp. 404-408. In the U.K., Admiralty claims formerly known as “claims in personam” under the Civil Procedure Rules 1998 (S.I. 1998/3132), in force April 26, 1999, are now governed, as of March 25, 2002, by Practice Direction 61 (Admiralty Claims), paras. 12.1 to 12.6 (Other Claims) and such claims proceed in accordance with Part 58 (Commercial Court) (see para. 12.2).
