Maine Savings Bank Real Estate Holdings Case Upheld
The Maine Law Court ruled that savings banks may acquire real estate in normal operations and must maintain it, denying the Employment Commission’s bid for extra wage contributions. The commission claimed $53 more on $2,944.76 in wages tied to the bank’s real estate, but the court held the law does not let savings banks operate as real estate corporations. The dispute arose from an agreed statement of facts in a claim by the Maine Unemployment Compensation Commission.
