On October 2, 2023, WLF joined a coalition of civil-justice reform groups in urging the Florida Supreme Court to consider three additional changes to the Florida Rules of Civil Procedure. The coalition’s comment asks the Court to (a) revise Florida Rule of Civil Procedure 1.280 to state that discovery must be “proportional to the needs of the case” like Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 26(b)(1)); (b) require disclosure of all third-party litigation funding agreements; and (c) address the extreme unfairness under new Florida Rule of Civil Procedure 1.460 if failure to continue trial would result in a defendant having to defend multiple trials simultaneously or close together.
