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 further amended Florida Rule of Civil Procedure 1.530 and Florida Family Law Rule of Procedure 12.530 after receiving comments on earlier amendments. The revised language clarifies that a motion for rehearing is required to preserve an appellate challenge based on a trial court's failure to make required findings of fact in a final judgment, and does not apply to other challenges to an order. The amendments became effective immediately upon release of the opinion.
