Supreme Court of Florida

In Re Amendments to Florida Rule of Judicial Administration 2.420

March 28, 201338 Fla. L. Weekly Supp. 199

Summary

The court adopted most proposed amendments to Florida Rule of Judicial Administration 2.420, with minor modifications, to clarify confidentiality designations, filing notices, service, access, sanctions, and procedures for determining confidentiality. It declined to adopt a proposed subdivision governing confidential evidence because the proposal did not identify what would trigger a judicial determination and improperly addressed access to court proceedings rather than court records. The amendments were made effective May 1, 2013, at 12:01 a.m.
