RULES OF CIVIL PROCEDURE
RULE 39 TRIAL BY JURY
OR BY THE COURT
CR 39.01 BY JURY
When trial by jury
has been demanded as provided in Rule 38, the action shall be
designated upon the docket as a jury action. The trial of all issues
so demanded shall be by jury, unless (a) the parties or their
attorneys of record, by written stipulation filed with the court or
by an oral stipulation made in open court and entered in the record,
consent to trial by the court sitting without a jury, or (b) the
court upon motion or of its own initiative finds that a right of
trial by jury of some or all of the issues does not exist under the
Constitution or Statutes of Kentucky.
[Amended by Order
96-1, eff. 1-1-97; prior amendment eff. 1-1-78; adopted eff. 7-1-53]
CR 39.02 BY THE
COURT
Issues not demanded
for trial by jury as provided in Rule 38 shall be tried by the
court; but, notwithstanding the failure of a party to demand a jury
in an action in which such a demand might have been made out of
right, the court in its discretion upon motion may order a trial by
jury of any or all issues.
[Adopted eff.
7-1-53]
CR 39.03 ADVISORY
JURY AND TRIAL BY CONSENT
In all actions not
triable of right by a jury the court upon motion or of its own
initiative may try any issue with an advisory jury; or the court,
with the consent of all parties noted of record, may order a trial
with a jury whose verdict has the same effect as if trial by jury
had been a matter of right.
[Amended eff.
7-1-69; adopted eff. 7-1-53]
