The Florida Supreme Court has adopted amendments to Civil Procedure Rule 1.442 (Proposals for Settlement) to exclude nonmonetary terms from a proposal for settlement, with some exceptions.

The unanimous court acted May 26 in Case No. SC21-277.

“After considering the comments and oral argument, we amend subdivisions (c)(2)(C) and (c)(2)(D) of rule 1.442 to exclude nonmonetary terms from a proposal for settlement, with the exceptions of a voluntary dismissal of all claims with prejudice and any other nonmonetary terms permitted by statute,” the court said.
