"Fabulous lawyer, professional, sincere and genuine...highly recommended. Other lawyers shied away from our tough case but James took it on with verve and vigor. With a highly qualified support team, James has paved the way to settle our case. James has keen attention to detail and a good ability to problem solve. The client has to make the final decisions on matters and quality advice is essential if the correct decisions are to be made, that's what you get from James. I cannot recommend James and Blue Ocean Law Group enough, they are pinnacles in the profession!"

UCPR Rule 29.2A provides that an election for defamation proceedings to be tried by jury MUST be made by filing a Notice of Election for a Jury Trial and serving the notice on each other active party in the proceedings.
A party may file and serve a Notice of Election for a Jury Trial only if (see UCPR 29.2A(2):
(a) the party has served a Notion of Intention to File the Notice of Election on each other active party BEFORE a date has been fixed for the hearing; and
(b) a Notice of Motion has not been filed by the other active parties seeking an order that the proceedings not be tried by jury (such notice must be made within 21 days of being served with the notice of intention), OR if such a Notice of Motion has been filed, the court has refused to make the order sought.
A party who serves a Notice of Intention to Elect Trial by Jury MUST inform the court that the notice has been served before a date has been fixed for the hearing (UCPR 29.2A(3)).
An application for proceedings other than defamation proceedings to be heard by jury must be made by Notice of Motion. (see UCPR 29.2).
Such applications are extremely rare.
