Swan v. Sohio Oil Co.
Supreme Judicial Court of Maine

1Opinion of the Court
WATHEN, Chief Justice.
Plaintiffs Frank, Linda, and Scott Swan appeal from an order of the Superior Court (Androscoggin County, Alexander, J.) dismissing their complaint against defendants Sohio Oil Company and Adam Jordan. The Superior Court ruled that the release of the intoxicated individual (Jordan) mandated the dismissal of an action against the ser ver of alcohol (Sohio) under the Maine Liquor Liability Act (MLLA), 28-A M.R.S.A. §§ 2501-2519 (1988). We agree that Jordan was not “retained in the action” as required by the plain language of 28-A M.R.S.A. § 2512(1) and affirm the judgment.
