RECENT RELEASES - FLORIDA SUPREME COURT
RULES OF GENERAL PRACTICE AND JUDICIAL ADMINISTRATION--AMENDMENTS. The Court adopted new rule 2.546 (Active and Inactive Case Status) and amendments to existing rules 2.215 (Trial Court Administration), 2.250 (Time Standards for Trial and Appellate Courts and Reporting Requirements), and 2.550 (Calendar Conflicts). In addition, the Court adopted new forms 2.604 (Notice of Pending Matter), 2.605 (Notice of Inactive Status), and 2.606 (Notice of Active Status). One of the more significant amendments is an amendment to the reporting requirement in rule 2.215(f), which now requires a judge to "maintain a log of all matters, not just cases, held under advisement and to notify the chief judge each month of all matters that have been held under advisement for more than 60 days." The newly adopted rule 2.546 requires parties in all types of proceedings to notify the court of a case's change in status.
QUO WARRANTO--CONSTITUTIONALITY OF STATUTE. A petition for writ of quo warranto challenging the State's gaming compact with the Seminole Tribe was dismissed by the Court because the petition presented nothing more than a challenge to the substantive constitutionality of the law ratifying the compact. "Quo warranto is not, and has never been, the proper vehicle to obtain a declaration as to the substantive constitutionality of an enacted law."
