(1) An action shall be removed from the small claims division to the regular docket of District or Circuit Court as appropriate whenever the defendant's counterclaim exceeds the jurisdictional limit of the division or the District Court. (2) An action shall be removed from the division to the District Court if a party defendant would otherwise have a right to a jury trial and gives notice to the division requesting a jury trial as provided in KRS 24A.320(2).
