In Re: Amendments to Florida Rule of Civil Procedure 1.530 and Florida Family Law Rule of Procedure 12.530

Summary

The Supreme Court of Florida amended the civil and family law rules governing motions for rehearing to require a party to raise a challenge to the sufficiency of findings in a final judgment in a rehearing motion to preserve that challenge for appeal. The amendments took effect immediately and were accompanied by commentary clarifying that they do not resolve whether rehearing is required to preserve other issues.
