Case No. SC2024-0652; SC2024-0656; SC2024-0664; SC2024-0681

The Florida Supreme Court held that Florida Rule of Civil Procedure 1.540 does not apply in statutory bond validation proceedings under chapter 75, affirming the circuit court's denial of governmental entities' post-judgment motions seeking to vacate a $5 billion PACE bond validation judgment entered in 2022. The ruling reinforces the absolute finality of bond validation judgments once the thirty-day appeal window closes.
