Terms Used In Maine Revised Statutes Title 14 Sec. 8808

  • Appeal: A request made after a trial, asking another court (usually the court of appeals) to decide whether the trial was conducted properly. To make such a request is "to appeal" or "to take an appeal." One who appeals is called the appellant.
  • Prosecute: To charge someone with a crime. A prosecutor tries a criminal case on behalf of the government.
If a party establishes that an appeal from a foreign-country judgment is pending or will be taken, the court may stay any proceeding with regard to the foreign-country judgment until the appeal is concluded, the time for appeal expires or the appellant has had sufficient time to prosecute the appeal and has failed to do so. [PL 2021, c. 689, §2 (NEW).]
