Inquiries before a jury may be made by means of an issue in the Supreme Court

(1) Wherever the court orders an inquisition before a jury, or where the Registrar or other person certifies that an inquisition before a jury is expedient, the question at issue shall be whether the person alleged to be of unsound mind is of unsound mind and incapable of managing himself or his affairs, and that issue shall be tried before a judge and jury in the court sitting in its civil jurisdiction. (2) The said issue shall be tried in the same manner and form as that in which an issue of fact is triable by a jury in a 9 civil action and, subject to this Act, the Juries Act, Cap. 128 shall apply accordingly.
