In Re: Amendments to Florida Rule of Appellate Procedure 9.130

Summary

The Supreme Court of Florida amended Florida Rule of Appellate Procedure 9.130 to permit immediate appellate review of nonfinal orders denying motions asserting specified forms of immunity. The amendment removes the prior requirement that the trial court determine, as a matter of law, that the party was not entitled to immunity and permits the appellate court to review as much of the record as necessary to resolve the appeal.
