| Type | Disposition by Order |
| Subtype | Denied |
| Description | Order Denying Petition for Writ - Certiorari ~ ORDERED that the petition for writ of certiorari is denied subject to the terms of this order.Petitioner sought certiorari review of an order compelling three categories of documents: 1) all retainer and/or fee agreements between petitioner’s counsel or law firms and petitioner or the decedent, noting that, “all materials provided shall be kept confidential pending a ruling on Plaintiff’s pending motion for confidentiality;” 2) all hourly billing rates that each attorney seeking a fee in the case has charged to clients, requested from any court, or been awarded any court in the last ten (10) years; and 3) all contemporaneous records including, but limited to, any calendars, minute books, diaries, or notes reflecting the work performed in this case by each attorney seeking a fee or reflecting the work they performed in other cases during the same time period as this case.The petition is denied with the following understanding of the extent of the order. Nothing in the trial court’s order precludes the petitioner from redacting attorney/client or work product privileged information from the materials compelled in paragraph 3 in accordance with the rules of procedure. This would include privileged information regarding other clients whose matters may be listed on a calendar. This court’s understanding that documents, such as calendars, reflecting work performed in other cases “during the same time period” means documents which show time worked on other cases during the same day as work performed on the present case. Finally, multiple firms performed work on this case for which compensation is being sought. This court’s understanding is that “all contemporaneous records . . . reflecting the work performed in other cases” may be satisfied by producing contemporaneously prepared time records which are part of a time-keeping system, if any of the firms involved keep such records, without the production of calendars, minute books, and diaries.WARNER, CIKLIN and ARTAU, JJ., concur. |

| Description | ORD-Pay Filing Fee-Civil Appeal ~ The jurisdiction of this court was invoked by filing of a Notice of Appeal in the lower tribunal. The $300.00 filing fee, or a circuit court clerk's determination of indigent status, did not accompany the Notice of Appeal as required in Florida Rules of Appellate Procedure 9.110(b) and 9.140(a). The filing fee is due and payable at the time of filing REGARDLESS OF WHETHER THE APPEAL IS LATER DISMISSED VOLUNTARILY OR ADVERSELY.ORDERED, appellant shall pay the $300.00 filing fee or file the circuit court clerk's determination of indigent status in this Court within ten (10) days from the date of the entry of this order. Failure to comply within the time prescribed will result in dismissal of this cause and may result in the court sanctioning of any party, or the party's attorney, who has not paid the filing fee. The attorney filing the notice of appeal has a duty to tender the filing fee to the appellate court when the appeal is initiated. See In Re Payment of Filing Fees, 744 So. 2d 1025 (Fla. 4DCA 1997). Failure of the attorney to pay will result in referral to the Florida Department of Banking and Finance for collection.**NOTE: This order does not toll the time for filing any pleadings necessary to prosecute this appeal and no extensions of time will be entertained. Once the fee is paid, it is not refundable. Except for dismissal, this court will take no action in this appeal until the filing fee is paid or until a circuit court clerk's determination of indigent status is filed. |

| Type | Disposition |
| Subtype | Approved |
| Description | DISP-APPROVED ~ As this Court held in Engle, the Phase I findings establish the Engle defendants' common liability for the strict liability, negligence, breach of express and implied warranty, fraudulent concealment, and conspiracy to fraudulently conceal claims alleged by the Engle class. Therefore, the trial court properly applied the Phase I findings to prevent relitigation of those elements, and we approve the Second District's decision in Douglas to the extent that it affirms the verdict for the plaintiff based on strict liability. However, we disapprove the Second District's rejection of negligence as a basis for the general verdict because the Second District's analysis requires causation instructions and findings beyond those required by Engle. We also answer the certified question in the negative and hold that accepting the Phase I findings as res judicata does not violate the Engle defendants' due process rights. It is so ordered. |
