Section 4110. Challenges for cause  


Latest version.
  • (a) Challenge to the favor.  The fact
      that a juror is in the employ of a party to the action; or if a party to
      the action is a corporation, that he is a shareholder or  a  stockholder
      therein;  or,  in  an  action  for  damages  for  injuries  to person or
      property, that he is a shareholder, stockholder,  director,  officer  or
      employee,  or in any manner interested, in any insurance company issuing
      policies for protection against liability  for  damages  for  injury  to
      persons  or  property;  shall constitute a ground for a challenge to the
      favor as to such juror. The fact that a  juror  is  a  resident  of,  or
      liable to pay taxes in, a city, village, town or county which is a party
      to  the  action shall not constitute a ground for challenge to the favor
      as to such juror.
        (b) Disqualification of juror for  relationship.    Persons  shall  be
      disqualified  from  sitting as jurors if related within the sixth degree
      by consanguinity or affinity to a party. The party related to the  juror
      must raise the objection before the case is opened; any other party must
      raise the objection no later than six months after the verdict.
