Florida Small Claims Rule 7.150
RULE 7.150. JURY TRIALS
Jury trials may be had upon written demand of the plaintiff at the time of
the commencement of the suit, or by the defendant within 10 days after service
of the summons/notice to appear or at the pretrial conference, if any.
Otherwise, the jury trial shall be deemed waived.
Committee Notes
1984 Amendment. The purpose of the cost deposit formerly required
was to discourage frivolous demands for jury trials. The committee feels that
there should be no distinction between the taxation of costs in a $300 claim
and a $3,000 claim.
