A lawsuit that can be commenced in any place where personal Service of Process can be made on the defendant.

Transitory actions are distinguishable from local actions, which can be brought only where the subject matter of the controversy exists. For example, the classic type of local action is one in which title to real property will be directly affected by the judgment of the court.
