Perkins v. Graves

Supreme Judicial Court of Maine

Decided June 7, 1994PublishedCited by 6 opinions

1Opinion of the Court

RUDMAN, Justice.

Joan M. Perkins appeals from the entry of a judgment in the Superior Court (Cumberland County, Fritzsche, J.) finding her liable for damages for trespassing on Robert and Marie Graves’ land. We affirm that part of the judgment that locates the boundary between Perkins’s property and the Graves’ property according to the plan proposed by the Graves’ surveyor. Because we hold that Perkins did not cause the damage or injury specified in 14 M.R.S.A. § 7552 (Supp.1993), however, we modify the judgment to vacate the award to the Graves of treble damages, attorney and surveyor fees.
