2218 - Trial of issue raised on motion.

§  2218.  Trial of issue raised on motion. The court may order that an  issue of fact raised on a motion shall be separately tried by the  court  or  a referee. If the issue is triable of right by jury, the court shall  give the parties an opportunity to demand a jury trial  of  such  issue.  Failure to make such demand within the time limited by the court, or, if  no  such  time is limited, before trial begins, shall be deemed a waiver  of the right to trial by jury. An order under this  rule  shall  specify  the issue to be tried.
