in personam.
Incorrect Answerneither (a) nor (b).
Incorrect Answerin rem in general but in personam in exceptional cases.
Incorrect AnswerExplanation:
- Option 1: In Rem
- An easement is a right attached to a property, not a person.
- It allows the use or restriction of use for someone else’s land for a specific purpose.
- Option 2: In Personam
- This is a personal right enforceable against a specific individual.
- Not typically the case with easements.
- Option 3: Neither (a) nor (b)
- This would mean easements do not fit into either category, which is incorrect.
- Option 4: In Rem in General, but In Personam in Exceptional Cases
- While easements are generally rights in rem, very rare circumstances might personalize them, though this is uncommon.
Correct Answer: Option 1 - in rem
