Terms Used In Maine Revised Statutes Title 14 Sec. 2603
- Attachment: A procedure by which a person's property is seized to pay judgments levied by the court.
- Defendant: In a civil suit, the person complained against; in a criminal case, the person accused of the crime.
- Partnership: A voluntary contract between two or more persons to pool some or all of their assets into a business, with the agreement that there will be a proportional sharing of profits and losses.
- Trustee: A person or institution holding and administering property in trust.
Service on the trustee binds all goods, effects or credits of the principal defendant entrusted to and deposited in the trustee’s possession, to respond to the final judgment in the action, as when attached by ordinary process if process describing the principal defendant with reasonable certainty is received at a time and in a manner that affords the trustee a reasonable opportunity to act on it. When a partnership is made a trustee on trustee process, service upon one member of the firm is a sufficient attachment of the property of the principal defendant in the possession of the firm, if that service is made at any place of business of the firm or, if that service is made elsewhere, that legal service is afterward made upon the other members of the firm. [PL 2003, c. 149, §3 (AMD).]
