When a cause is at issue upon a question of fact, if either party then demands a jury trial and deposits with the justice such trial fee as is required to be paid in advance by ORS § 52.420 and 52.430, the issue must be tried by a jury and not the justice; but otherwise it must be tried by the justice.
