Terms Used In Maine Revised Statutes Title 14 Sec. 3105
- 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.
- 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.
- Plaintiff: The person who files the complaint in a civil lawsuit.
- Trustee: A person or institution holding and administering property in trust.
When an action is brought against a trustee in a county where he resides but where neither the plaintiff nor defendant resides, and the trustee is discharged or the action is dismissed as to him, the action shall still proceed if there was legal service on the principal defendant, unless it is set forth by motion or answer and established on hearing that the trustee was collusively included in the action for the purpose of giving the court in such county jurisdiction.
