Terms Used In Maine Revised Statutes Title 14 Sec. 2952

  • Answer: The formal written statement by a defendant responding to a civil complaint and setting forth the grounds for defense.
  • Defendant: In a civil suit, the person complained against; in a criminal case, the person accused of the crime.
  • Trustee: A person or institution holding and administering property in trust.
After notice of a motion under section 2951 has been served, if the person neglects to appear and answer to the motion, that person must be defaulted and adjudged trustee to the extent that the person holds goods, effects or credits of the principal defendant otherwise available to satisfy the unsatisfied portion of final judgment. Nothing in this section limits the additional remedies available under this chapter for the trustee’s failure to disclose, including the assessment of costs under section 3102.
