Mocegui v. Public Service Mutual Insurance Co.
27 Fla. L. Weekly D1667 (Fla. 3rd DCA August 2, 2002)
A trial court's authority to modify, amend, or vacate an order or final judgment after rendition of the final judgment is limited by Fla. R. Civ. P. 1.530 and 1.540. Under Fla. R. Civ. P. 1.530(g), parties may move for a motion to alter or amend a judgment within ten days of the filing of the
judgment. Once that time expires, the trial court loses jurisdiction except to enforce the judgment. Fla. R. Civ. P. 1.540 provides that a trial court may relieve a party from a final judgment for reasons stated in the rule. However, the trial court's time for granting relief expires after one year.
