Verbatim from the order's own text layer, harvested 2026-07-24; whitespace normalised only. No OCR was used. Only sentences containing mandatory language (shall, must, may not, no later than, within N) are reproduced — the full document is in custody and is the controlling text. • Stat., (2011) states in part: “In any claim filed with an insurer for personal injury in an amount of $10,000 or less or any claim for property damage in any amount, arising out of the ownership, operation, use, or maintenance of a motor vehicle, either party may demand mediation of the claim prior to the institution of litigation.” The providers declined mediation. • United then sued the providers for declaratory relief where United prayed for a declaratory judgment declaring that the providers must mediate before they can file an action against United to enforce the policy because the providers’ PIP claims are subject to § 627.745, Fla. • The Court must deny United’s petition for discretionary review because the Third District’s opinion does not conflict with Alexdex Corp., v. • For conflict jurisdiction to exist, the conflict must be found in the decision of the district court under review. • The petition must be denied because the Third District’s decision does not conflict with Alexdex Corp., v. • Stat., (2011) states in relevant part: “(1) County courts shall have original jurisdiction … (c) Of all actions at law in which the matter in controversy does not exceed the sum of $15,000, exclusive of interest, costs, and attorney fees, except those within the exclusive jurisdiction of the circuit courts.” (emphasis added); cf § 26.012(2)(a), Fla. • Stat., (2011)(“(2) [circuit courts] shall ; and concluded that that legislature intended -- 10 of 15 -- - 6 - to provide concurrent jurisdiction to hear matters in equity except that equitable claims filed in county court must fall within the county court’s monetary jurisdiction. • Roell, 123 Fla. 2, 166 So. 215, 217 (Fla. 1936)(“To be of value as a precedent, the questions raised by the pleadings and adjudicated in the case cited as precedent must be [o]n point with those presented in the case at bar.”) It is elementary that “the authority of a former decision as a precedent must be limited to the points actually decided on the facts before the court.” 21 C.J.S., Courts § 220 (2008)(emphasis added);
Stat., (2011) states in part: “In any claim filed with an insurer for personal injury in an amount of $10,000 or less or any claim for property damage in any amount, arising out of the ownership, operation, use, or maintenance of a motor vehicle, either party may demand mediation of the claim prior to the institution of litigation.” The providers declined mediation.
Reviewer note: Document sha256: 8e993862dcd89163ca9af007eda81f1364905ea9726033152547064565dbf1c2 (58871 bytes). BenchPath harvested this circuit itself because no research corpus existed for it. Extraction is conservative: mandatory-language sentences only, so this rule is a faithful subset of the order, never a summary of it.
Judge Shull requires ALL motions set for special-set hearing to go to mediation before the hearing is held.
Judge Burkhart will not schedule a temporary-relief hearing until mediation has been held ON the temporary relief sought — mediation first, hearing second.
Judge Sharrit refers ALL cases to mediation (exceptions only by leave) and openly encourages Special Magistrates under Rule 1.490(b) to beat the hearing-time bottleneck.
