                          CHAPTER 2. VALIDITY OF JUDGMENTS

                    TOPIC   4. JUDGMENTS IN REM AND QUASI IN REM

§ 32. Jurisdiction over Things

C.D.Cal.2021. Com.  (a) quot. in disc. After obtaining a judgment under the Anti-Terrorism Act against
foreign terrorist organization for the torture and murder of his father, judgment creditor obtained a writ
of execution under the Terrorism Risk Insurance Act (TRIA) on the blocked assets of nonparty narcotics
trafficker; trafficker intervened, arguing, inter alia, that the court lacked personal jurisdiction over him.
This court denied intervenor's motion to dissolve writ of execution, holding that it had quasi in rem
jurisdiction over intervenor's blocked assets if it determined that intervenor was an agency or
instrumentality of defendant for the purposes of TRIA, because plaintiff could obtain satisfaction for his
claim against defendant by attaching those assets. Citing Restatement of Judgments § 32, Comment a,
the court noted that an alternative type of quasi in rem jurisdiction existed, under which plaintiff could
assert an interest in property and seek to have his interest established against intervenor's assets, such as
in an action to quiet title. Caballero v. Fuerzas Armadas Revolucionarias de Colombia, 562 F.Supp.3d
867, 882.

§ 55. Judgment  for Defendant for Costs

Mass.2022.  Com. (a) cit. in sup. Assignee of a residential mortgage loan filed a summary-process action
against borrowers, seeking possession of the property after they defaulted on the loan; borrowers
counterclaimed, alleging that lender violated state statutes protecting consumers and prohibiting
predatory home-loan practices. The trial court granted summary judgment for lender on borrowers'
counterclaims. The court of appeals affirmed. This court affirmed in part, holding that borrowers could
not assert their counterclaim under the consumer-protection statute as a defense to lender's eviction
action, because it was not limited to the extent of lender's claim. The court explained that a successful
recoupment  claim by a defendant could reduce or extinguish the plaintiff's claim but could not result in
