SECTION 8 | DISCOVERY DISPUTES
Prior to filing a Motion to Compel the moving party shall confer in good faith with the non-moving party in an attempt to resolve the discovery dispute. The Court does not believe this is merely a “box to check” before filing such a motion. Indeed, the Court fully expects that the description of the good faith conferral may be the lengthiest part of the Motion to Compel. If, for any reason, the moving party is unable to confer with counsel for the non-moving party, there should be a detailed description in the motion of all actions taken by the moving party to confer. The good faith requirement imposes the obligation upon all counsel to promptly reply to a ‘meet-and-confer’ request and to provide availability for that meeting.
Once a Motion to Compel or Motion for Sanctions is scheduled on the Court’s calendar, it will only be removed if the case is completely resolved and settled by the parties.
Florida law does not provide for “General Objections.” Any objections to discovery requests must be specific and detailed. Discovery responses listing “General Objections” will be stricken and subject to monetary sanctions.
Here's the current version.
You might need to reference it during your pursuit of justice.
For instance, you might need to understand certain local rules to recover from the damages that lawbreaking judges/lawyers have inflicted upon you (see this example of a Florida judge who outright committed perjury).
As always, please get the justice you deserve.
Sincerely,
