The Civil Procedure Rules Committee is proposing adding enforcement mechanisms to discovery rules, revisions the panel says are necessary after the Florida Supreme Court added “proportionality” language in recent civil procedure reforms.

The Board of Governors, when it meets Friday, will be asked to “accept,” “reject,” or “amend” the committee’s proposed amendments to Rule 1.340 (Interrogatories), 1.350 (Production of Documents and Things…), and 1.380 (Failure to Make Discovery; Sanctions).

The proposed revisions are necessary, “to address concerns raised by the Court’s adoption of ‘proportionality’ within Florida Rule of Civil Procedure 1.280 (General Provisions Governing Discovery),” according to a staff analysis.
