right in personam

Read a random definition: work of authorship

A quick definition of right in personam:

Right in personam refers to a legal claim that a person has against another person. It is a type of right that can be enforced through legal action. A right is something that a person is entitled to by law or moral principle. It can be a power, privilege, or immunity that is protected by law. For example, the right to own property or the right to freedom of speech. Rights can be absolute, conditional, or imperfect. An absolute right is a natural right that cannot be denied or curtailed except under specific conditions. A conditional right depends on an uncertain event, and an imperfect right is recognized by the law but is not enforceable.

A more thorough explanation:

Definition: A legally enforceable claim that another person will do or will not do a given act; a recognized and protected interest the violation of which is a wrong.

Examples:

  • If you have a contract with someone to deliver goods to you, you have a right in personam to enforce that contract if they fail to deliver the goods.
  • If someone owes you money, you have a right in personam to take legal action to recover that debt.

These examples illustrate that a right in personam is a legal claim that you have against another person to do something they promised to do or to refrain from doing something that would harm you. If they violate this right, you can take legal action to enforce it.
