Terms Used In 7 Guam Code Ann. § 23405
- Jurisdiction: (1) The legal authority of a court to hear and decide a case. Concurrent jurisdiction exists when two courts have simultaneous responsibility for the same case. (2) The geographic area over which the court has authority to decide cases.
If the Guam court has personal jurisdiction over a judgment debtor or a person in possession of the turnover property, a turnover order issued by a Guam court is still effective even when the property sought is outside of Guam. Any order compelling a party to bring property into the island of Guam that is ignored is contempt of court and punishable as such.
