Requirement

Verbatim from the order, captured 2026-07-24; whitespace normalised only. No OCR was used anywhere in this chain. HEARING TIME & ARGUMENT LIMITS • Generally, post-accident surveillance video that is going to be used at trial is subject to discovery and may not be used as a last-minute surprise at trial. Therefore, late or surprise disclosures of such surveillance videos are discouraged and disfavored as such tactics frequently lead to, at best, otherwise unnecessary and inefficient extensions of the Court’s existing pretrial deadlines or at worst trial continuances resulting in the Court failing to manage a case to its presumptively reasonable time period for the completion of cases in the trial courts of this state. See Rules 2.250 and 2.545, Fla. R. Gen. Prac. & Jud. Admin.
