Beacon Theatres v. Westover
Fox sued Beacon to get declaratory and injunctive relief; Beacon has legal counterclaim (so…does it go to a jury or not?)
H - If one party would be entitled to a jury trial, it cannot be deprived of that right merely b/c another party took the advantage of the availability of equitable relief and sued first.
