District Court of Appeal of Florida

Decided November 1, 2006No. 3D06-353Published

1Opinion of the Court

CORTINAS, Judge.

This is an appeal of final judgment after a non-jury trial. We affirm the trial court’s granting of appellee’s motion to strike appellant’s demand for a jury trial and, instead, proceed to a bench trial. Where, as here, the right or remedy is equitable in nature, there is no right to a jury trial. Robbins v. Section 3 Prop. Corp., 609 So.2d 670, 671 (Fla. 3d DCA 1992) (citations omitted), approved, 632 So.2d 596 (Fla.1993).

Affirmed.
