RULE 1.430.

DEMAND FOR JURY TRIAL; WAIVER

(a) Right Preserved. The right of trial by jury as declared by the

Constitution or by statute shall be preserved to the parties inviolate.
(b) Demand. Any party may demand a trial by jury of any issue triable of
right by a jury by serving upon the other party a demand therefor in writing at any
time after commencement of the action and not later than 10 days after the service
of the last pleading directed to such issue. The demand may be indorsed upon a
pleading of the party.
(c) Specification of Issues. In the demand a party may specify the issues
that the party wishes so tried; otherwise, the party is deemed to demand trial by
jury for all issues so triable. If a party has demanded trial by jury for only some of
the issues, any other party may serve a demand for trial by jury of any other or all
of the issues triable by jury 10 days after service of the demand or such lesser time
as the court may order.
(d) Waiver. A party who fails to serve a demand as required by this rule
waives trial by jury. If waived, a jury trial may not be granted without the consent
of the parties, but the court may allow an amendment in the proceedings to demand
a trial by jury or order a trial by jury on its own motion. A demand for trial by jury
may not be withdrawn without the consent of the parties.
Committee Notes
1972 Amendment. Subdivision (d) is amended to conform to the decisions
construing it. See Wood v. Warriner, 62 So. 2d 728 (Fla. 1953); Bittner v. Walsh,
132 So. 2d 799 (Fla. 1st DCA 1961); and Shores v. Murphy, 88 So. 2d 294 (Fla.
1956). It is not intended to overrule Wertman v. Tipping, 166 So. 2d 666 (Fla. 1st
DCA 1964), that requires a moving party to show justice requires a jury.
