Wilsonart, LLC v. Miguel Lopez

Summary

The court answered no to the certified question whether Florida should create a special summary-judgment exception for videotape evidence that conclusively contradicts the nonmoving party’s evidence. It held that any change to Florida’s summary-judgment standard must occur through a prospective rule amendment rather than judicial reinterpretation, and it approved the result reached below. The court left petitioners free to seek summary judgment under the new standard after the rule amendment takes effect.
