Local Rule 11 — County civil ex parte motions to compel discovery
Summary
Where a motion to compel alleges complete failure to respond to discovery with no extension requested, a county judge may enter an EX PARTE order compelling compliance within 10 days — the source of the "ten (10) days… failing which sanctions may be imposed" language quoted across Broward county-civil division procedures.
Requirement
Verbatim: "When a motion to compel discovery alleges a complete failure to respond or object to discovery, and there has been no request for extension, a county judge may enter an ex parte order requiring compliance with the original discovery demand within ten (10) days of entry of the order. Movant shall submit the proposed order and the envelopes. Sanctions may be imposed if discovery is not completed within ten (10) days from the date of entry of the ex parte order."
