Rule 1.909. Fee for late settlement of jury trial

In the event a party waives a jury trial or gives notice of settlement later than two fall working days before a civil action is scheduled to be tried to a jury or is reached for jury trial, whichever is later, or the case is settled during trial, a fee of $1000 shall be assessed as court costs. A late settlement fee shall not be waived by the court nor shall a continuance be granted for purposes of avoiding imposition of this fee. Fees so collected shall be remitted by the clerk to the treasurer of the state to be deposited in the general fund of the state.
