L. STRIDER TO RECEIVE 1978 DISTINGUISHED SERVICE AWARD PART II ,.y Young, Esquire Robert Checkoway, Esquire Editor's Note: Part I of this survey of Recent Decisions of the Maine Supreme Court appeared in Vol. 12 No. 6 of the Maine Bar Bulletin (November 1978). X. CIVIL PROCEDURES Several cases presented issues of the jurisdiction of various courts. The Law Court observed that it has no jurisdictidn to take a case on report from a probate court prior to a decision by the probate court.' A district court cannot exercise jurisdiction over a mechanics lien case, since the mechanics lien enforcement action is equitable in nature.2 When two courts have concurrent jurisdiction over a controversy which is presented to both of them, and if the case may not be fully resolved by the first forum, the second court should continue the matter generally pending a final decision of the first court.3 The court decided several cases on the basis of justiciability and mootness.
