Supreme Court of Florida
In Re: Amendments to Florida Rules of Civil Procedure
January 23, 2025
Summary
The court adopted further amendments to multiple Florida Rules of Civil Procedure, largely preserving the previously adopted case-management, proportionality, and discovery framework while clarifying its operation. The amendments require proportionality-based discovery, specific discovery objections, initial disclosures and supplementation, sanctions for noncompliance, and coordinated case-management deadlines, including summary-judgment deadlines. The amendments take effect January 1, 2025, with specified transition rules for pending and newly commenced actions.
