2 verbatim requirements published by Palm Beach Division KK1 on continuances & cancellations.
Palm Beach County, Fifteenth Judicial Circuit — Division KK1 only. Divisional instructions change without notice; the division page is the controlling text. Procedural information only; not legal advice.
Motions for continuance must state with specificity: (1) the basis of the need for the continuance, including when the basis became known to the movant; (2) whether the motion is opposed; (3) the action and specific dates for the action that will enable the movant to be ready, including, but not limited to, confirming the specific date any required participants are available; and (4) the proposed date by which the case will be ready to proceed and whether that date is agreed by all parties. Except for good cause shown, the motion must be signed by the party requesting the continuance, as required by Florida Rule of General Practice and Judicial Administration 2.545(e). Motions for continuance are disfavored and will be granted only upon good cause shown. Successive continuances are highly disfavored. Lack of due diligence is not grounds for granting a continuance.
Reviewer note: Complete-coverage record. Page sha256: 8c44aaa9228833d20caf7ab9f349b3283a1958fd88ce81a872e0404362893993. Clauses under 60 characters (navigation labels and section headings) were excluded; 628 such fragments were dropped circuit-wide. A separate curated highlight rule may cover one of these clauses with a sharper title — de-duplication is an open curation task, not a data gap.
