Until Superior Court rules provide otherwise, we conclude that when a McNeal hearing alone is to be certified to the Civil Assignment Office, a jury demand must be filed no later than the day of trial of the possessory action in the Landlord and Tenant Branch or, if there is a motion to dismiss or for summary judgment — or a motion to strike the pleadings for failure to comply with the protective order, see Davis, 456 A.2d at 827-29— no later than the date the party demanding a jury files the motion or opposition, as the case may be. The trial court may extend the time for filing for good cause shown. In all other respects the requirements of Super.Ct. L & T R. 6 shall be satisfied, including certification for trial on an expedited basis.
