IMPORTANT- READ CAREFULLY
THE CASE WILL NOT BE TRIED AT THE PRETRIAL CONFERENCE SO DO NOT BRING
WITNESSES. YOU MUST APPEAR IN PERSON, OR BY AN ATTORNEY. DUE TO SPACE
LIMITATIONS, ONLY THE NAMED PARTY AND ANY NECESSARY INTERPRETER MAY
ATTEND IN PERSON.
Defendant(s) must appear as stated on the date specified in order to avoid a default judgment. Plaintiff(s)
must appear as stated on the date specified in order to avoid having the case dismissed for lack of
prosecution. A written MOTION or ANSWER to the Court by the plaintiff(s) or defendant(s) shall not excuse
the appearance of a party or its attorney in the PRETRIAL CONFERENCE/MEDIATION. 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.
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 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 suit 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 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 defendant(s) sued resides:
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 in person on your court date and orally request a transfer, or you may 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 the plaintiff(s) attorney, if any.
