1Opinion of the CourtRosellini, J.

This is a suit by the Attorney General to enjoin the drilling of water wells, allegedly in violation of RCW 18.104. The complaint alleged that the defendant had also engaged in deceitful practices in violation of RCW 19.86, the Consumer Protection Act. In addition to injunc-tive relief, the Attorney General sought restitution to consumers allegedly harmed by the defendant's activities, as well as statutory penalties and its costs and attorney fees.

The Superior Court granted the defendant's motion for jury trial, and the correctness of that ruling is before us for review.
