- Updated interest rate adjustments on final judgments.
- Florida Supreme Court's recent decision that post-judgment discovery in aid of execution of a money judgment, entered by a federal court in Florida, is not an action on the judgment subject to the five-year limitations period under F.S. 95.11(2), and is available as long as the judgment is enforceable. Salinas v. Ramsey, 234 So.3d 569 (Fla. 2018).
