B . the court will seat a jury on its own motion.
C. there will be no jury trial.
D. the amount of damages will be reduced below $1,000.

Answer 1

C.

Step-by-step explanation:

C. There will be no jury trial.

If neither party requests a jury in a lawsuit that meets the requirements for a jury trial in their state, the typical outcome is that there will be no jury trial. The case will be heard and decided by a judge alone. The absence of a jury does not automatically result in a reduction of damages below a certain threshold (options A and D), nor does it mandate the court to seat a jury on its own motion (option B). The decision to proceed without a jury trial is within the court's discretion.
