<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">My research tells me the 1<sup>st</sup> DCA is using the Daubert standard in cases where no party asserts that the adoption of § 90.702 is an unconstitutional attempt to legislate procedure. I also found several websites announcing that
the Florida Supreme Court was to ‘hold oral argument on adding the Daubert standard to the Civil Rules’ in October. I can’t find anything to substantiate that. (I’m aware of the recommendation of the Big Bar against Daubert)
<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Can anyone tell me the latest in whether we can argue Daubert standards to exclude expert testimony?
