Does judgment in rem prevail judgment in person-am?

No, they are different types of relief that can be given by the court. "In rem" refers to the object in dispute, and "in personam" to the litigant. A judgement in rem would be a declaration that a certain person is the owner of the property, but a judgement in personam might be an award of damages to be paid by the defendant for trespass, nuisance or some similar tort. Historically speaking, the ability of English courts of Law to make judgements in rem about certain property while the courts of Equity could make judgements in personam about the owners of the property led to the development of the concept of a Trust.
