At the direction of the Florida Supreme Court, the Fifteenth Judicial Circuit has implemented Differentiated Case Management Plans. There is a Retroactive Plan, which applies to cases pending as of April 29, 2021, and a Prospective Plan, which applies to cases filed on April 30, 2021 or later. The term “civil cases” is defined in the Plans, but generally speaking, includes all cases filed in the county or circuit civil divisions except small claims cases and cases subject to summary procedure. Some other types of cases are also excluded from the Retroactive Plan.
