Country Club Drive Port St. Lucie, FL 34986 on __________ at _____ m., for a PRETRIAL CONFERENCE
before a judge of this court.
IMPORTANT – READ CAREFULLY THE CASE WILL NOT BE TRIED AT THAT TIME.
DO NOT BRING WITNESSES – APPEAR IN PERSON OR BY ATTORNEY
The defendant(s) must appear in court on the date specified in order to avoid a default judgment. The
plaintiff(s) must appear to avoid having the case dismissed for lack of prosecution. A written MOTION
or ANSWER to the court by the plaintiff(s) or the defendant(s) shall not excuse the personal appearance
of a party or its attorney in the PRETRIAL CONFERENCE. The date and time of the pretrial conference
CANNOT be rescheduled without good cause and prior court approval.
Any business entity recognized under Florida law may be represented at any stage of the trial court
proceedings by any principal of the business entity who has legal authority to bind the business entity or
any employee authorized in writing by a principal of the business entity. A principal is defined as being
an officer, member, managing member, or partner of the business entity. Written authorization must be
brought to the Pretrial Conference.
The purpose of the pretrial conference is to record your appearance, to determine if you admit all or part
of the claim, to enable the court to determine the nature of the case, and to set the case for trial if the case
cannot be resolved at the pretrial conference. You or your attorney should be prepared to confer with the
court and to explain briefly the nature of your dispute, state what efforts have been made to settle the
dispute, exhibit any documents necessary to prove the case,

state the names and addresses of your witnesses, stipulate to the facts that will require no proof and will
expedite the trial, and estimate how long it will take to try the case.
Mediation may take place at the pretrial conference. Whoever appears for a party must have full authority
to settle. Failure to have full authority to settle at this pretrial conference may result in the imposition of
costs and attorney fees incurred by the opposing party.
If you admit the claim, but desire additional time to pay, you must come and state the circumstances to
the court. The court may or may not approve a payment plan and withhold judgment or execution or levy.
RIGHT TO VENUE. The law gives the person or company who has sued you the right to file in any
one of several places as listed below. However, if you have been sued in any place other than one of
these places, you, as the defendant(s), have the right to request that the case be moved to a proper
location or venue. A proper location or venue may be one of the following: (1) where the contract
was entered into; (2) if the suit is on an unsecured promissory note, where the note is signed or
where the maker resides; (3) if the suit is to recover property or to foreclose a lien, where the
property is located; (4) where the event giving rise to the suit occurred; (5) where any one or more
of the defendants sued reside; (6) any location agreed to in a contract; (7) in an action for money
due, if there is no agreement as to where suit may be filed, where payment is to be made.
If you, as the defendant(s), believe the plaintiff(s) has/have not sued in one of these correct places, you
must appear on your court date and orally request a transfer, or you must file a WRITTEN request for
transfer in affidavit form (sworn to under oath) with the court 7 days prior to your first court date and
send a copy to the plaintiff(s) or plaintiff’s(s’) attorney, if any.
A copy of the statement of claim shall be served with this summons.
