District Court of Appeal of Florida

A demand for trial by jury may not be withdrawn without the consent of the parties, even where the defendant has defaulted on the liability issue. Denial of a motion to vacate a clerk's default and for a new trial is affirmed in part and reversed in part in an action stemming from an automobile accident.
