Florida Order Designating Case A Complex Case is a document that is issued by the court to designate a case as a complex case. This designation allows for the case to be handled with special procedures and resources. Generally, a case is designated as a complex case when it involves many parties, multiple claims, or requires the use of special skills or expertise. In Florida, there are two different types of complex cases: general complex case and multi-district litigation (MDL) complex case. A general complex case is one that does not require the use of specialized resources or procedures. It is typically used for cases that involve many parties, multiple claims, or complex legal issues. The court may issue an order designating a case as a general complex case if it is deemed necessary for the efficient management of the case or the proper disposition of the issues. An MDL complex case is one that requires the use of specialized resources or procedures. It is typically used for cases that involve multiple districts, multiple plaintiffs, or the need for specialized skills or expertise to handle the case. The court may issue an order designating a case as an MDL complex case if it is deemed necessary for the efficient management of the case or the proper disposition of the issues. The order designating a case as a complex case will typically include the name of the court, the case number, the type of case, the reasons the case is being designated as a complex case, and any special procedures or resources required to handle the case.
