Court of Appeals of Florida
In a series of asbestos pending in the Court of Appeals of Florida, the Legal Foundation filed four briefs defending Florida's medical criteria law. This statute requires that claimants in asbestos cases meet certain objective medical criteria before filing suit. The law is intended to help impede the mass filings by unimpaired claimants that have created judicial backlogs in the courts.
Status: PENDING. Amicus briefs were filed Sept. 7, 2007.
