May 23, 2013115 So. 3d 208
Summary
The court authorized proposed amendments to the standard civil jury instructions concerning the introduction of participants, closing instructions, and read-back of testimony. It also amended model instructions on its own motion to conform to the revised closing instructions. The authorization was expressly without an opinion on the instructions’ legal correctness and did not foreclose requests for alternative instructions or challenges to their correctness.
