Navigation Florida Supreme Court’s revises civil case management reforms before January 1 implementation
The Florida Supreme Court December 5 put the final touches on a framework for the active case management of civil cases with a focus on adhering to deadlines established early based on the complexity of the case, while providing room for customization by judicial circuits through administrative orders that will go into effect January 1.
The court’s amendments to the Florida Rules of Civil Procedure also incorporated the proportionality language of Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 26(b)(1) into the Florida rules and required initial discovery disclosures and discovery supplementation like the federal rules.
The court acted in In Re: Amendments to Florida Rules of Civil Procedure, Case No. SC2023-0962.
