  • person: includes individuals, children, firms, associations, joint adventures, partnerships, estates, trusts, business trusts, syndicates, fiduciaries, corporations, and all other groups or combinations. See Florida Statutes 1.01
All decisions and opinions delivered by the district courts of appeal, or any judge thereof, relating to any action or proceeding pending in such court must be filed in the office of the clerk and maintained in the control of the clerk. Such decisions and opinions may not be taken from the clerk’s maintenance or control except by order of the court; however, the clerk must furnish certified copies of such opinions and decisions to any person who makes such a request, upon receiving any required fees.
