In re: Amendments to Florida Rules of Civil Procedure – Management of Cases Involving Complex Litigation
Case Number(s):
SC08-1141

Transcript:

Summary:

The Task Force on the Management of Cases Involving Complex Litigation is asking the Court to adopt a proposed rule that would define 'complex' cases. The rule would identify factors to use in designating complex cases and would establish procedures for managing such cases, including expediting the setting of a trial date and scheduling case management conferences, reports, and orders. The Task Force is also asking the Court to change the civil cover sheet, a form that people filing lawsuits must fill out.
