When no procedure is specifically prescribed by these rules, the court shall proceed in a manner consistent with analogous provisions of the Maine Rules of Civil Procedure, or if those rules make no analogous provision, in any lawful manner not inconsistent with the Constitution of the State of Maine or any applicable statute or rule of court, bearing in mind the purpose of the Small Claims Court Act to provide "a simple, speedy and informal court procedure for the resolution of small claims."
Me. R. Small. Claims. P. 15
