The Case
In a case which the judge had previously ruled could conveniently be heard by a judge sitting with a jury, the court ruled that in light of developments which had taken place since that ruling, the case was one which could no longer be heard conveniently with a jury, and ordered accordingly that it was to be tried by a judge sitting alone.
