The plaintiffs brought a motion to strike the jury notice in a personal injury action arising from a 2014 motor vehicle accident.
The trial was originally scheduled for November 2020 but was delayed due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
The court found that waiting for a civil jury trial, which was unlikely to proceed before the fall of 2022, would cause patently prejudicial delay.
The motion was granted, the jury notice was struck, and the matter was directed to be placed on a civil non-jury running list.
