DO NOT COME TO THE COURTHOUSE. THE PRETRIAL CONFERENCE IS VIRTUAL.
THE CASE WILL NOT BE TRIED AT THE PRETRIAL CONFERENCE. DO NOT HAVE
WITNESSES APPEAR VIRTUALLY. YOU MUST APPEAR VIRTUALLY YOURSELF OR BY
AN ATTORNEY. IF YOU DO NOT SPEAK OR UNDERSTAND ENGLISH, YOU MUST
PROVIDE YOUR OWN INTERPRETER FOR THE VIRTUAL PRETRIAL CONFERENCE.
Defendant(s) must appear virtually on the date specified in order to avoid a default
judgment. Plaintiff(s) must appear 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 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 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 virtually 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.

an attorney, you may designate e-mail address(es) for service by you through the Florida E-
