RECENT RELEASES - FLORIDA SUPREME COURT
RULES REGULATING THE FLORIDA BAR--AMENDMENTS. On its own motion, the Court adopted a new rule 3-5.3 (Interim Suspension), which addresses the grounds for suspension of a lawyer charged with a felony adversely reflecting on the lawyer's fitness to practice law. "The new rule provides a procedure for notice and an opportunity to respond before the imposition of [the] interim suspension." A respondent may move to dissolve the interim suspension "on a change in the criminal charges or on a disposition of the felony criminal charges," and may move to expunge an interim suspension in certain circumstances. Should criminal charges result in a determination or judgment of guilt, rule 3-7.2 applies. Rule 3-5.2 (Emergency Suspension and Interim Probation) was amended to remove what is now addressed in new rule 3-5.3, and certain rules were renumbered as needed.
RULES OF CIVIL PROCEDURE--AMENDMENT--FORMS. The Court amended Form 1.923(a) (Eviction Summons-Residential) to include Spanish, French, and Haitian Creole translations, as revised to incorporate recent amendments to the English version of the form.
EMINENT DOMAIN--TAKINGS--CERTIFICATES AND PERMITS. The Court held that the Takings Clause of the Florida Constitution was not implicated by the repeal of legislation which had previously authorized an administrative body to issue certificates and permits to county taxicab operators, and which had designated those certificates and permits as the holder's "private property." For government-granted property to "enjoy protection from an uncompensated taking, the government must have conferred the property on an irrevocable basis, for at least some specified period."
