Chemrock Corp. v. Tampa Electric Co.green

1 sentence

2021Co., 71 So. 3d 786, 792 (Fla. 2011) (“Our intent in amending the rule in 2005 was simply to alleviate the harshness of the rule by providing notice to a party that the action was at risk of being dismissed for lack of prosecution, and affording the party a reasonable time thereafter in which to engage in record activity in order to preclude dismissal.”). 2 In these circumstances, where the record is devoid of the required notice to the parties required by Rule 1.420(e), we can only conclude the dismissal was entered in error.
