Terms Used In Maine Revised Statutes Title 14 Sec. 2960
- 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.
- Trustee: A person or institution holding and administering property in trust.
When trustee process is used in connection with an action on a judgment on which execution might legally issue and it appears to the court that, at the time of bringing it, the defendant openly had visible property liable to attachment sufficient to satisfy such judgment, or that it was brought for the purpose of vexation or to accumulate costs, it shall at any time on motion be dismissed, with costs to the defendant.
