Answer: the court will use in personam jurisdiction.

Explanation:

Personal jurisdiction is the court's authority to determine personal rights and liabilities of the parties before it. Under personal jurisdiction the court has the authority to decide matters of a particular defendant (in personam jurisdiction) or an item of property (in rem jurisdiction).
