A Maine Notice of Controversy is a legal document filed with the court when a dispute arises between two or more parties. It serves to alert the court that a dispute is in progress and is used to initiate litigation. The Notice is typically filed by the party initiating the dispute and must contain the names and addresses of the parties involved, a statement of the nature of the dispute, and the relief being sought. The Notice must also be served on all other parties. There are two types of Maine Notice of Controversy: a Complaint and a Motion. A Complaint is used when a party is seeking to initiate a lawsuit and a Motion is used when a party is seeking to modify or dismiss an existing lawsuit. In both cases, the Notice must include the same information and be served on all parties involved.
