Docket entry
091840 Heinrich Schepers GmbH & Co. v. Whittaker 11/04/2010 In the second appeal from an action by a longshoreman injured while working on a boat docked in Virginia, the plaintiff, who had made a limited waiver of his right to a jury during a prior trial, was entitled to a jury trial after reversal of the prior judgment and remand of the proceedings to the circuit court for a trial limited to the issue of damages. The standards for waiver of a jury trial right in subsequent proceedings were not met and the record supports the circuit court's finding that no jury trial waiver for subsequent proceedings was made by the plaintiff. The judgment of the circuit court is affirmed.
