ONLINE DISPUTE RESOLUTION
18th Judicial Circuit - Brevard County
SMALL CLAIMS RESOLUTION CENTER
The 18th Judicial Circuit Brevard County is pleased to invite you to participate in the Court's Online Dispute
Resolution (ODR) process. ODR can be used by parties to a Small Claims lawsuit to negotiate a settlement.
Instead of a Judge deciding your case, you can take control of the process by resolving your case online.
ODR allows you the opportunity to settle with the other party at your convenience, using your computer, tablet,
or smartphone. You can work online to negotiate from any location and at any time, including evenings and
weekends. If you reach an agreement using this option, and it is filed with the Clerk of Court as required, you
will not have to appear in court on your Pre-Trial Conference date.
After reviewing your case for eligibility AND if you have filed a Designation of Email Address for service with
the Clerk of Court, plaintiffs will receive an email inviting them to participate and initiate the process. ODR is
optional, so both parties would have to agree to use this process.
IMPORTANT NOTE REGARDING DEBT COLLECTION
If you agree to use this ODR process, you are permitting the creditor to contact you via this platform to
attempt to settle your lawsuit. Either party may discontinue the process at any time, for any reason, with
written notice to the other party.
For additional information from the Circuit's website, please view this link:
https://flcourts18.org/court-programs/odr/
PLAINTIFFS: Please check your email frequently for the invitations from the Court.
PLAINTIFFS AND DEFENDANTS: If you would like to participate and have not filed a Designation of Email
Address agreeing to eservice, please send an email requesting participation to: BrevardODR@flcourts18.org. If
you prefer, you may download a Non-Attorney Designation of Email Address form, complete it, and file it with
the Clerk of Court. You may access this form at http://www. brevardclerk.us/index.cfm/administration.

Gullickson
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 at the PRE-TRIAL CONFERENCE. The date and/or time of the Pretrial Conference CANNOT
be rescheduled without good cause and prior court approval.
A corporation may be represented at any stage of the trial court proceedings by an officer of the corporation or
any employee authorized in writing by an officer of the corporation. 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
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. This is an informal and
non-adversarial process with the objective of helping the disputing parties reach a mutually acceptable and
voluntary agreement. In 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 to the
Court. The Court may or may not approve a payment plan and withhold Judgment of Execution or Levy.
RIGHT TO VENUE: The law gives the person 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:
Where the contract was entered into;
If the suit is on an unsecured promissory note, where note is signed or where the maker resides;
If the suit is to recover property or to foreclose a lien, where the property is located;
Where the event giving rise to the suit occurred;
Where any one or more of the defendant(s) sued reside(s);
Any location agreed to in a contract
In an action for money due, if there is no agreement as to where suit may be filed, proper venue lies in the
county where payment is to be made.
If you as a 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 seven days prior to your first court date and send a copy to the
plaintiff(s) or plaintiff's attorney.
A copy of the Statement of Claim shall be served with this Summons.
