Practice question
A creditor asks only to apply a designated property interest to a lien and expressly seeks no general personal liability. Another plaintiff seeks a personal injunction directing conduct concerning land. Is every asset-related decree necessarily the same kind of action?
- Yes; every mention of property requires one classification.
- No; property-limited enforcement differs from a command imposing personal responsibility.
- Yes; a personal injunction necessarily binds every stranger.
- Yes; limited property relief automatically creates unlimited money liability.
- The title of counsel’s memorandum conclusively settles both.
