Splude v. Dugan
Supreme Judicial Court of Maine
Decided July 16, 2003PublishedCited by 7 opinions
1Opinion of the CourtClifford, J.
[¶ 1] James E. Dugan appeals from a judgment entered in the Superior Court (Androscoggin County, Gorman, J.) in the amount of $16,389.67 in favor of Kathleen M. Splude. Dugan contends that he received insufficient notice of a contempt hearing, and that an order signed by the Superior Court allowing alternative service on him of a contempt subpoena violated M.R. Civ. P. 66(d)(2)(C). Because we conclude that, in the circumstances of this case, the use of alternative service for a contempt subpoena was not sufficiently justified, we vacate the judgment.
