Terms Used In Maine Revised Statutes Title 8 Sec. 566

  • Complaint: A written statement by the plaintiff stating the wrongs allegedly committed by the defendant.
  • Injunction: An order of the court prohibiting (or compelling) the performance of a specific act to prevent irreparable damage or injury.
  • Jurisdiction: (1) The legal authority of a court to hear and decide a case. Concurrent jurisdiction exists when two courts have simultaneous responsibility for the same case. (2) The geographic area over which the court has authority to decide cases.
In addition to any other remedy set forth in this chapter for the enforcement of this chapter or any rule, order or decision of the Commissioner of Public Safety, the Superior Court has jurisdiction upon complaint filed by the commissioner, or any person duly authorized to act for the commissioner, to restrain or enjoin any person or organization from operating any type of motor vehicle racing or doing any act prohibited by this chapter or prohibited by any rule of the commissioner. If it is established upon hearing that the person or organization, or the officers, agents, servants or employees of such person or organization, charged has been or is operating any type of motor vehicle racing in violation of any rule, order or decision of the commissioner, the court shall enter a decree enjoining that person or organization and the officers, agents, servants and employees of that person or organization and any other person from further operation of such motor vehicle racing. In case of violation of any injunction issued under this section, the court shall summarily try and punish the person for contempt of court. The existence of other civil or criminal remedies is not a defense to this proceeding. The commissioner or the commissioner’s authorized agent is not required to give or post a bond when making an application for an injunction under this section. [RR 2023, c. 1, Pt. C, §42 (COR).]
