Does a court have jurisdiction to order that a motion be heard before a jury in a civil case?

California, United States of America


The following excerpt is from People v. Harris, B257675 (Cal. App. 2018):

doing so would be an " 'idle act' " because " 'the record shows that the trial court would not have exercised its discretion even if it believed it could do so . . . .' " (People v. Gamble (2008) 164 Cal.App.4th 891, 901.)
