Historical Notes
• Civil procedure in the middle ages
Real Actions
› Land or the res
Actions for damages
› Unimportance of chattels in medieval mindset
› No return of property only damages
• Realty vs. Personalty
Permanence of land/fixed and finite commodity
• In rem vs. In personam
In rem, is a right against the world at large
In personam is a right against an individual
