Some cases can be resolved before trial or during trial – purely as a matter of law. This can occur by way of a dismissal, summary judgment, judgment on the pleadings, directed verdict, and various other legal resolutions. The legal grounds raised at the trial level can be a basis for reversal or affirmance on appeal.

In 2009, the Florida Supreme Court established new Rules of Procedure for Complex Litigation, in an effort to manage complex cases that needed special attention. Complex civil litigation may have complicated legal or case management issues, require management by the court to keep the case moving forward, keep the costs down, and make the most efficient use of the court system. That led to the establishment of divisions dedicated to these types of cases in courts throughout Florida.
These rules are set forth in the Florida Rules of Civil Procedure 1.201.
