Commerce Bank and Trust Co. v. Dworman
Supreme Judicial Court of Maine
Decided November 22, 2004PublishedCited by 16 opinions
1Opinion of the CourtAlexander, J.
[¶ 1] Nancy S. Dworman appeals from a judgment of the Superior Court (York County, Brennan, J.) denying her motion to dissolve an ex parte attachment.
