Guides practitioners on the use, pleading, and application of defenses and procedural objections in Florida civil cases, surveying common and useful defensive motions and procedural objections – including sample forms for each defense

Florida Affirmative Defenses and Procedural Objections with Forms guides lawyers on evaluating, selecting, pleading, and contending with affirmative defenses and procedural objections in Florida state civil cases. The book surveys nearly 94 affirmative defenses and all of the Rule 1.140(b), Florida Rules of Civil Procedure, motions, along with other defensive motions and procedural objections. Discussion of the defenses include information on elements, notable authority, jury instructions, and more.

The book provides useful forms for each affirmative defense and the motions and pleadings discussed. These forms are also available online, ready for editing to suit the unique facts and circumstances of each case.

The 2026 edition builds on earlier editions, adding some common and some a bit exotic additional defenses. New defenses include: puffery as a defense to fraud, opinion as a defense to fraud, opinion as a defense to defamation, competition privilege, and (inapplicability of) the “Cat's Paw” theory of liability. Along with verifying and updating citations to hundreds of cases, statutes, and rules, we hope you will find this update valuable to your practice.
