Law Court: In vacating dismissal of foreclosure action due to bank’s late payment of $150 penalty for failing to provide discovery, the Law Court held that the trial court erred by imposing the $150 penalty without holding a hearing, that the dismissal of a $631,000 claim for a comparatively minor violation did not survive “close scrutiny” (particularly where, as the Law Court concluded, the payment was not late), and that the trial court erred in granting defendant’s motion for findings of fact and conclusions of law pursuant to Maine Rule of Civil Procedure 52(a) because there had not been a hearing or trial to generate a record from which findings could be drawn
