Supreme Court of Florida
In Re: Amendments to Florida Rule of Judicial Administration 2.420
January 21, 2021310 So. 3d 374
Summary
The court amended Florida Rule of Judicial Administration 2.420(d) to eliminate the clerk's independent duty to identify and designate confidential information in specified civil cases. In those cases, confidentiality generally depends on the filer's notice or motion, a court order, or confidentiality required by law, thereby facilitating more timely public access to court records. The amendment does not alter the clerk's duties in non-civil cases or certain civil case types designated as viewable on request.
