Rule 69 – Execution

May 13, 2021 | Civil Procedure, Maine

Process to enforce a judgment for the payment of money shall be a writ of execution, unless the court directs otherwise. No execution running against the body shall be issued unless, where the law expressly permits such execution, it is so ordered by the court after motion and hearing for good cause shown. In addition to the procedure on execution, in proceedings supplementary to and in aid of a judgment, and in proceedings on and in aid of execution, as provided by law, the judgment creditor or a successor in interest when that interest appears of record, may obtain discovery from any person in the manner provided in these rules; provided that discovery may be obtained against the judgment debtor only in connection with a disclosure proceeding pursuant to 14 M.R.S.A. § §31203136 and only upon the order, entered on motion for good cause shown, of the District Court in the division in which such proceeding is pending.
