In a case tried by a jury, if the court denies a request to take judicial notice of a matter, it shall, upon request, instruct the jury that the court has denied the request and that the jury is not to notice the matter.
This statute ensures that if a judge denies a party's request to take judicial notice of a fact, the jury is properly instructed not to consider that fact as established. This prevents the jury from being confused or speculating about a matter that the court has specifically declined to recognize as an indisputable fact.
