Supreme Court of Florida

In Re: Standard Jury Instructions in Civil Cases - Report No. 15-02

April 21, 2016191 So. 3d 380

Summary

The court authorized relocating the emergency medical treatment instruction to a newly created appendix and authorized the modified instruction for publication and use. It declined to authorize the proposed placeholder instruction because the existing appendix structure made the proposed relocation confusing and impractical. The court emphasized that authorization did not express an opinion on the instruction’s legal correctness and did not foreclose alternative instructions or challenges.
