Rule 747. Trial (1981)

TEXT

If no jury is demanded by either party, the justice shall try the case. If a jury is demanded by either party, the jury shall be empaneled and sworn as in other cases; and after hearing the evidence it shall return its verdict in favor of the plaintiff or the defendant as it shall find.

Amended by order of June 10, 1980, eff. Jan. 1, 1981: The last sentence of the former rule is deleted because it is the same provision as the second sentence of Rule 743.
