TIME FOR CHALLENGE

Notes and commentary — not rule text
Committee Notes
1968 Adoption. Save for the heading and for the inclusion of the phrase, “for cause or peremptorily,” the suggested rule is a transcription of the provisions of section 913.04, Florida Statutes.
1972 Amendment. Prior rule amended only by deleting some language felt by the committee to be superfluous.
