Supreme Court of Florida
In Re: Amendments to the Florida Small Claims Rules
September 8, 201641 Fla. L. Weekly Supp. 377
Summary
The Florida Supreme Court adopted proposed amendments to the Florida Small Claims Rules, correcting a cross‑reference in Rule 7.050, revising service provisions in Rule 7.080, modifying appearance and pre‑trial conference requirements in Rule 7.090, and adding references in Rule 7.160. The Court reasoned that the amendments clarify procedural requirements, especially for unrepresented parties, and promote uniformity across counties.
