Florida Supreme Court Amends Rule 1.442

Effective July 1, 2022, the Florida Supreme Court has amended Rule 1.442, Fla. R. Civ. P., to exclude references to non-monetary conditions in proposals for settlement, except voluntary dismissal with prejudice and conditions allowed by statute.

The new rule is intended to align with §768.79, Fla. Stat., which “simply contemplates a comparison of monetary amounts, with subsections (2)(c)-(d) of that statute providing only that a settlement offer must “[s]tate its total amount” and ‘[s]tate with particularity the amount offered to settle a claim for punitive damages, if any.'” See full opinion here.
