TD Banknorth, N.A. v. Hawkins
Supreme Judicial Court of Maine
Decided October 19, 2010No. Docket: BCD-09-480PublishedCited by 11 opinions
1Opinion of the CourtGorman, J.
[¶ 1] Benjamin P. Hawkins appeals from a default judgment entered in the Business and Consumer Docket (Nivison, J.) in favor of TD Banknorth, N.A. on the Bank’s complaint for collection on a commercial loan personally guaranteed by Hawkins. Hawkins challenges the court’s entry of default and default judgment, its dismissal of the Bank’s claim for fraud and seeking punitive damages, and the calculation of damages. Because we conclude that Hawkins was improperly defaulted on an amended complaint to which he had no opportunity to respond, we vacate the judgment.
