Our team recently broke down the amendments to Florida’s Rules of Civil Procedure and their impact on early claim handling and expedited litigation. Here are some key takeaways in case you missed it!
- Major procedural changes were enacted by the Florida Supreme Court, most of which took effect January 1, 2025.
- Mandatory Case Management Orders (CMOs) will be implemented in every case, greatly shortening timelines for discovery, expert retention, and trial preparation.
- Early preparation became critical — claim information and expert retention needed to occur much sooner to meet new disclosure deadlines.
- Courts emphasized strict enforcement, making clear that CMO deadlines would be firmly applied and modified only by motion and court order.
