Florida Discovery Rules Unlike most civil cases, a criminal case is a more one sided affair. Under the rules, once charges have formally been filed, the State has a period of fifteen days to turn over their initial discovery submission. This submission is required to disclose several pieces of discovery.
States like Florida allow extra time for the discovery of medical malpractice before the statute of limitations starts ticking precisely to account for these instances. This is known as the “discovery rule.”
The California discovery rule stops the clock on the statute of limitations until the plaintiff either finds out about the cause of action or has a good reason to do so. This rule comes into play when the plaintiff didn't realize, and a reasonable person wouldn't have realized, that they were harmed.
Under the rules, once charges have formally been filed, the State has a period of fifteen days to turn over their initial discovery submission.
Discovery Served with the Statement of Claim / Complaint If a written discovery request is served upon a Defendant contemporaneously with Plaintiff's complaint, Defendant must serve its responses to the discovery within 45 days of the date of service of Plaintiff's Complaint. 1.
DISCOVERY OBJECTIONS A. Boilerplate or General Objections The parties shall not make nonspecific, boilerplate objections. The parties also shall not make General Objections that are not tied to a particular discovery request. Such objections will be summarily overruled.
The discovery process starts soon after criminal charges are instituted. Once your plea is filed following your arraignment, you can file a Notice of Discovery along with a Demand for Jury Trial. Your discovery notice triggers the prosecutor's duty to give you all evidence they've collected against you.
Florida's statute of limitations for personal injury cases is generally two years from the date of the injury. However, the discovery rule allows for an exception: the statute of limitations may begin on the date you first discovered (or reasonably should have discovered) the injury.
If the parties are having a dispute, either party can file a motion with the court asking the judge to order the other side to respond to discovery requests or punish the other side for failing to respond to discovery requests or for making unreasonable discovery requests.
In certain cases, you might be able to write a letter to the other side and request the documents that you need. However, in more formal cases, you will likely have to draft more formal discovery demands. There are usually forms available for this in local law libraries, from the court clerk's office, or online.
