Jury Trial
Jury trials are often waived by creditors when they file proof of claims:
| “ | The WorldCom court determined that if a creditor’s proof of claim is met with an adversary proceeding and the determination of the adversary proceeding affects the claims allowance process, the creditor does not have a right to a jury trial, even if the adversary proceeding involves claims, such as breach of contract claims, that are historically tried in a court of law.[1] | ” |
