The Supreme Court has set another round of oral arguments to consider proposed amendments to civil justice reforms, including a Civil Procedure Rules Committee proposal to add enforcement mechanisms to discovery rules.

The Supreme Court, in a May 23 order “In Re: Amendments to Florida Rules of Civil Procedure” Case No. 0962, issued a series of proposed amendments that take effect January 1, 2025.

The reforms grew out of a sweeping Judicial Management Council workgroup proposal that called for amending the Rules of General Practice and Judicial Administration, the Rules of Civil Procedure, and multiple other rule sets to promote the timely resolution of civil cases through effective case management.
