In re: Amendments to Florida Rule of Civil Procedure 1.530 and Florida Family Law Rule of Procedure 12.530
On its own motion, the Florida Supreme Court amended Fla. R. Civ. P. 1.530(a) and Fla. Fam. L. R. P. 12.530(a) to add that "[t]o preserve for appeal a challenge to the sufficiency of a trial court's findings in the final judgment, a party must raise that issue in a motion for rehearing under this rule." The Court also added 2022 Court Commentary clarifying that the amendment does not, by negative implication, address any other situation in which a rehearing motion may be needed to preserve an issue. The amendments took effect immediately upon issuance, with a 75-day comment period.
