In the Matter of the Estate of Betty Hamilton Lake, Deceased: Chet H. Lake, Jr. v. Mary Lake Chesnutt

Summary

The Mississippi Supreme Court reversed the Madison County Chancery Court’s order striking the appellant’s notice of jury trial, holding that the statutory right to a jury trial under Miss. Code Ann. § 91‑7‑19 was neither waived by signing a scheduling order nor untimely, and remanded for further proceedings consistent with that holding.
