Title 14 - §251. Rights of those judged in contempt
Title 14: COURT PROCEDURE -- CIVIL
Part 1: GENERAL PROVISIONS
Chapter 11: CONTEMPT
§251. Rights of those judged in contempt
In all cases where a person shall be charged with contempt for violation of a restraining order or injunction issued by a
court or judge or judges thereof, in any case involving or growing out of a labor dispute, the accused shall enjoy:
1. Bail. The rights as to admission to bail that are accorded to persons accused of crime;
2. Accusation and defense. The right to be notified of the accusation and a reasonable time to make a defense, provided the alleged contempt is not
committed in the immediate view or presence of the court;
3. Trial by jury. Upon demand, the right to a speedy and public trail by an impartial jury of the county wherein the contempt was allegedly
committed. This requirement shall not be construed to apply to contempts committed in the presence of the court or so near
thereto as to interfere directly with the administration of justice or to apply to the misbehavior, misconduct or disobedience
of any officer of the court in respect to the writs, orders or process of the court.

Title 14: COURT PROCEDURE -- CIVIL
Part 1: GENERAL PROVISIONS
Chapter 11: CONTEMPT
§252. Summary process where decree disobeyed; contempt
Whenever a party or the Department of Health and Human Services, if it is subrogated to a party under Title 19-A, chapter
65, subchapter II, article 3, complains in writing and under oath that the process, decree or order of court, which is not,
except as provided in Title 19-A, section 2101, for the payment of money only, has been disregarded or disobeyed by any person,
summary process shall issue by order of any justice, requiring that person to appear on a day certain and show cause why that
person should not be adjudged guilty of contempt. Such a process must fix a time for answer to the complaint and may fix a
time for hearing on oral testimony, depositions or affidavits, or may fix successive times for proof, counterproof and proof
in rebuttal, or the time for hearing and manner of proof may be subsequently ordered upon the return day or thereafter. The
court may for good cause enlarge the time for the hearing. If the person summoned does not appear as directed or does not
attend the hearing at the time appointed as enlarged, or if, upon hearing, the person is found guilty of such disregard or
disobedience, the person must be adjudged in contempt and the court may issue a capias to bring the person before it to receive
sentence and may punish the person by any reasonable fine or imprisonment the case requires. The court may allow the offender
to give bail to appear at a time certain, when the punishment may be imposed if the person continues in contempt; but when
a second time found guilty of contempt in disregarding or disobeying the same order or decree, no bail may be allowed. When
the person purges that contempt, the justice may remit the fine or imprisonment or any portion thereof. Appeal from any order
or decree or judgment under this section must be governed by the Maine Rules of Civil Procedure. Such an appeal may not suspend
the enforcement of any such order or decree unless the court so directs.
