Chapter IX · General Provisions

Rule 50. Clerical Mistakes

Amended May 1, 2025 (current)

Clerical mistakes in judgments, orders, or other parts of the record and errors therein arising from oversight or omission may be corrected by the court at any time of its own initiative or on the motion of any party and after such notice as the court orders. During the pendency of an appeal, such mistakes may be so corrected before the appeal is docketed in the Law Court, and thereafter, while the appeal is pending may be so corrected with leave of the Law Court.

Committee Notes

Committee Advisory Note [December 2014] The Rule parallels the content of Rule 50 of the Maine Rules of Criminal Procedure except that "Law Court" replaces "appellate court" because the Superior Court no longer functions as an intermediate appellate court in the new unified Rules. The Law Court is now the sole appellate court. See

Committee Advisory Note [December 2014] to M.R.U. Crim. P. 36.

[Advisory Notes to former Maine Rules of Criminal Procedure]

Advisory Committee Note—1989 [M.R. Crim. P. 50.] New Rule 50 contains with minor modifications the language of former Rule 36.
