Legal Question in Civil Litigation in Maryland
Amend complaint from Replevin to Detinue
I filed for an order of Replevin in District court and realize I should have actually filed for an order of Detinue. Specifically, what Maryland Code supports a motion to modify the complaint to Detinue and dismiss the show cause hearing?

Unless you are within 15 days of your trial date, you can file an amended complaint setting forth a cause of action in detinue. The relevant rule is 3-341.
