St. Lucie County File Date: 02/23/2023 10:01 AM
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, to state what effort have been made to
settle the dispute, to exhibit any documents necessary to prove the case, to state the names and addresses
of your witnesses, to stipulate to the facts that will require no proof and will expedite the trial, and to
estimate how long it will take to try the case.
MEDIATION
Mediation may take place during the time scheduled for the pretrial conference. Mediation is a
process whereby an impartial and neutral third person called a mediator acts to encourage and facilitate
the resolution of a dispute between two or more parties without prescribing what the resolution should be.
It is an informal and nonadversarial process with the objective of helping the disputing parties reach a
mutually acceptable and voluntary agreement.
In the mediation decision making rests with the parties. Negotiations in county court mediation
are primarily conducted by the parties. Counsel for each party may participate. However, presence of
counsel is not required. If a full agreement is not reached at mediation, the remaining issues of the case
will be set for trial. Mediation communications are confidential and privileged, except where disclosures
are required or permitted by law.
If you admit the claim, but desire additional time to pay, you must come and state the
circumstances. The court may or may not approve a payment plan and may 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 on of
these places, you, as the defendant, 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 of where the maker resides; (3)
if the suit is to recover property or to force lose 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, believe the plaintiff has 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 or plaintiff’s attorney, if any.
A copy of the statement of claim shall be served with this summons.
