M.R. App. P. 24

(a) Report by Agreement of Important or Doubtful Questions.

When the trial court is of the opinion that a question of law presented to it is of

sufficient importance or doubt to justify a report to the Law Court for

determination, it may so report when:

(1) all parties appearing agree to the report;

(2) there is agreement as to all facts material to the appeal; and

(3) the decision thereon would, in at least one alternative, finally

dispose of the action.

(b) [Reserved]

(c) Report of Interlocutory Rulings. If the trial court is of the opinion

that a question of law involved in an interlocutory order or ruling made by it

ought to be determined by the Law Court before any further proceedings are

taken, it may on motion of the aggrieved party report the case to the Law Court

for that purpose and stay all further proceedings except such as are necessary

to preserve the rights of the parties without making any decision therein.

(d) Determination by the Law Court. Any action reported pursuant

to this Rule shall be entered in the Law Court and proceed as any other appeal,

with the plaintiff or the party aggrieved by a reported interlocutory ruling being

treated as the appellant. In a civil case, the appellant shall pay the fee for filing

of a notice of appeal promptly following entry of the order of report.
