In Re: Standard Jury Instructions in Civil Cases - Report No. 15-01

Summary

The Supreme Court of Florida authorized publication and use of one new civil jury instruction and amendments to four existing instructions concerning spoliation, medical negligence, contributing causes of damages, and present-value reductions. The authorization took effect when the opinion became final, but the Court expressly stated that it was not deciding whether the instructions were legally correct or applicable in particular cases. No separate opinions were filed.
