equity acts in personam

equity acts in personam
A maxim in equity. The Latin form, aequitas agit in personam. Schmaltz v York Mfg. Co. 204 Pa 1, 53 A 522. Equity deals primarily with the person, and usually only through him with the res. Atlantic Seaboard Natural Gas Co. v Whitten, 315 Pa 529, 173 A 305, 93 ALR 615. The operation of the maxim has been greatly modified by statute. Although an equity court still has the power to act in personam, by force of statute, its judgment or decree also operates in rein to establish a title or right. 27 Am J2d Eq § 122.
