Moossun v. Orlando Regional Health Care
27 Fla. L. Weekly S596 (Fla. June 21, 2002)
In a dismissal action for failure to prosecute, a court ordered status conference does not constitute record activity under Fla. R. Civ. P. 1.420(e). Rule 1.420(e) is intended to ensure that actions filed in Florida's courts are diligently prosecuted by the parties and provides for dismissal without prejudice of actions wherein no record activity has taken place for a year. Record activity must constitute an affirmative act calculated to hasten the suit to judgment.
