Operative words
In March 2020, the emergence of the COVID-19 pandemic compelled the Maine Judicial Branch to significantly curtail court proceedings... The Court's most recent PMOs provide for scheduling and hearing of almost all case types, on two conditions: (1) the case must be one that can be addressed by video or telephone conference and (2) judicial resources will be directed to priority case types first.... We are particularly guided by the State of Maine's COVID-19 Prevention Checklists for General Guidance and for Industry Guidance on Public and Community Buildings.
Enforcement
Notes
Five-phase plan; Phase Five reached late 2020 and held in abeyance; the courts bound themselves to the DECD checklists.
