Notice To Appear For Pretrial Conference-Mediation

NOTICE TO APPEAR FOR PRETRIAL CONFERENCE/MEDIATION. This form notifies parties to appear for a Pretrial Conference/Mediation in the County Court of the Nineteenth Judicial Circuit in St. Lucie County, Florida. It specifies the date, time, and location of the conference. The notice emphasizes that the case will not be tried at the conference but may be mediated. Parties must appear in person or by attorney, and those attending must have full authority to settle the case. Failure to comply can result in sanctions. The purpose of the pretrial conference is to record appearances, determine admissions, and set the case for trial if it cannot be resolved. Mediation may occur during the conference, aiming for a mutually acceptable agreement. If mediation fails, the case will be set for trial. Defendants who admit the claim but need more time to pay must attend to request a payment plan. The form also informs defendants of their right to request a venue change if the case was not filed in the correct location. www.FormsWorkflow.com
