Rotunda of the Florida Supreme Court

As part of its ongoing effort to improve “the timely resolution of civil cases through effective case management,” the Supreme Court on March 21 adopted a set of amendments to the Florida Rules of General Practice and Judicial Administration aimed at moving cases along.

In 2022, the Workgroup on the Improved Resolution of Civil Cases submitted a final report to the court proposing amendments to the Florida Rules of General Practice and Judicial Administration and multiple other rule sets aimed at “promoting the fair and timely resolution of civil cases.” The amendments provided for court case management of civil cases with early judicial intervention, adherence to established deadlines, and reporting of case management data.
