This manual guides the practitioner through the multiple steps necessary to procedurally ready a case for trial and is the perfect compliment to Florida Civil Trial Practice. This popular reference includes recent significant changes made by case law, statutes, and rules amendments.
Highlights of the Thirteenth Edition include discussions of:
- Updated case law, statutes, Rules of Procedure, forms, etc.
- Hot Topics:
- Planning and preparing a case, scientific testing, and the Florida Supreme Court's recent confirmation of Florida as a Daubert state.
- Tax considerations, dissolution of marriage and separation agreements, and the impact of the federal Tax Cuts and Jobs Act.
- Updated and expanded discussion of tribal sovereign immunity and waiver.
- Discussion of unsettled legal issue: Whether the Florida Rules of Appellate Procedure permit an appeal of a nonfinal order denying sovereign immunity when the record shows that the defendant is entitled to immunity as a matter of law but the trial court does not explicitly preclude it as a defense.
- Discussion of unsettled legal issue: Whether the filing of a notice of lis pendens at the commencement of a foreclosure action prevents a local government from exercising its authority to enforce code violations existing on the foreclosed property after final foreclosure judgment and before judicial sale, when the local government's interest or lien arises after final judgment and did not exist within 30 days after the recording of the notice of lis pendens.
- Recent amendment to the landlord-tenant statute as it relates to self-storage facilities, providing for public website sales and limitations on the value of property stored in a storage space, and adding provision to specifically address motor vehicles and watercraft.
- Florida Supreme Court’s recent decision in Salinas v. Ramsey, 234 So.3d 569 (Fla. 2018), holding that collection activity on a federal judgment issued by a Florida court, including post-judgment discovery, is not an “action on a judgment” subject to the five-year limitations period, but instead is permitted for the 20-year life of the judgment.
