. The Superior Court properly remanded the cases to the District Court for "issuance of any order to enforce the terms of this judgment.” See Bicknell Mfg. Co. v. Bennett, 417 A.2d 414, 416 (Me.1980) (Superior Court hears and decides issues to be determined after transfer pursuant to 14 M.R.S.A. § 6006, District Court retains a "residual jurisdiction under which the final determination of the action by entry of a final judgment ... takes place in the District Court.’’). Notwithstanding that there is no final judgment in a forcible entry and detainer case until the District Court enters judgment after remand, the Superior Court judgment in the present circumstances can be considered final for the purpose of appeal. Bicknell, 417 A.2d at 422 n. 9.
