Answer

ANSWER. This form is used by a defendant in a small claims case in Alachua County, Florida, to file an official response to the plaintiff’s complaint. Although Florida Small Claims Rule 7.090(c) does not generally require a written response unless ordered by the court, this form allows the defendant to state their position or defenses in writing before the pretrial conference. It includes the defendant’s identifying information and requires the defendant to acknowledge that filing the answer does not eliminate their obligation to personally appear at the scheduled pretrial conference. The form also includes a Certificate of Service section, confirming that the defendant has provided a copy of the answer to the other party or parties involved in the case, as required by court rules. www.FormsWorkflow.com
