PER CURIAM.

WRITS GRANTED.

The common issue presented in the above captioned Writ Applications is whether the trial court erred in summarily denying a jury trial to the defendants who made a jury trial demand in their answer, but made no allegation that the petitioner's claim exceeded $50,000.00. Upon review, we find that the trial court erred in summarily denying the demand for jury trial at this preliminary stage of the proceeding.
