The application for a jury trial was dismissed because, although s19B permits jury trials, these proceedings involve complex, inextricably linked mixed questions of fact and law across numerous prior court files and judgments such that a jury would be unwieldy and unsuitable; therefore a judge-alone trial is the appropriate and more convenient forum.
