Supreme Court of Florida
In Re: Standard Jury Instructions in Contract and Business Cases - 2018 Report
December 6, 2018260 So. 3d 87
Summary
The court approved proposed amendments to Florida’s standard jury instructions for contract and business cases, including instructions addressing contract breach and interpretation, mistake defenses, trade-secret misappropriation, and promissory estoppel, along with related model verdict forms. The court authorized their publication and use but expressly declined to assess their substantive correctness or applicability; the approved materials become effective when the opinion becomes final.
