Rule 6 Jury Demand
Rule Text
(a) MAKING A JURY DEMAND. On any issue triable of right by a jury, a party may demand a jury trial by serving the other parties with a written demand at or before the initial hearing, or by such extended time as the court may allow for good cause. The jury demand must be accompanied by:
(1) the fee required by rule or administrative order, unless the court has authorized the party to proceed without payment or prepayment of costs; and
(2) a verified answer setting out the facts on which the defense is based, if the jury demand is made by the defendant.
(b) CERTIFYING CASE TO CIVIL ACTIONS BRANCH. If a jury trial is properly demanded, the court must certify the case to the Civil Actions Branch for trial on an expedited basis.
