Text

No irregularity or omission upon the part of the state court administrator's office or of any officer, in the performance of any duty imposed by this chapter, serves to invalidate the panel of grand or petit jurors selected unless it shall be made to appear to the satisfaction of the court for which the panel was drawn that there was such misfeasance or malfeasance as would tend to deprive some litigant or person charged with crime of a substantial right, in which event the court may dismiss any or all members of the panel from the trial of such case or the consideration of such matter or for the term and may make such order respecting the drawing of additional names from the list or a new panel or a special venire as the court may deem proper.
