Publisher's Synopsis
Florida Affirmative Defenses and Procedural Objections guides practitioners on the use, pleading, and application of defenses and procedural objections in Florida state civil cases. In particular, the book surveys common and useful defensive motions and procedural objections to be made during the pleading phase of a case. Further, the book examines and discusses various affirmative defenses, including pleading requirements, jury concerns, and notable authority on each defense. The book provides the practitioner with useful forms for each defense, which are available in MS Word on a CD-ROM so they can be edited to suit the unique facts and circumstances of each case. The 2017 edition includes additional discussions of several substantial defenses, including a new examination of "immunity." Other additional defenses in this edition include the impracticability doctrine, unjust enrichment, the Rooker-Feldman doctrine, failure to exhaust administrative remedies, and a discussion about adhesion contracts and unconscionability.
