In addition to its
recent opinion requiring service by email (effective September 1, 2012), the Supreme Court of Florida recently issued two more opinions
changing the rules of civil procedure in significant ways.
First, the Court amended the rules to require electronic filing.
This rule will take effect on October 1, 2012 in state appellate courts;
and on April 1, 2013 in civil, probate, small claims, and family law
divisions of the trial courts, as well as appeals to the circuit courts in
those cases. The effective date for criminal and traffic cases will be October
1, 2013.
Second, the
Court amended the rules to address electronic discovery. This rule will
take effect on September 1, 2012.
