Every paper filed by a party represented by an attorney shall be signed by at least one attorney of record in his or her individual name, whose address shall be stated, and who shall be duly licensed to practice law in Florida. A party, individual or corporation, who or which has no attorney handling such cause shall sign his or its statement of claim or other paper and state his or its address. Provided, however, if the trial court in its discretion shall determine that the plaintiff is engaged in the business of collecting claims, and holds such claim being sued upon, by purchase, assignment or management arrangement in the operation of such business, the court may require such corporation to provide counsel in the prosecution of the cause.
(b) Parties. The names and addresses of all parties or their attorneys, if any, must be stated therein.

RULE 7.080. SERVICE OF PLEADINGS AND PAPERS OTHER THAN STATEMENT OF CLAIM.
(a) Service; when required. Copies of all pleadings and papers subsequent to the notice to appear, except applications for witness subpoenas and orders and judgments entered in open court, shall be served on each party. One against whom a default has been entered is entitled to be served only with pleadings asserting new or additional claims.
(b) Same; how made. When a party is represented by an attorney, service of papers other than the statement of claim and notice to appear shall be made upon the attorney unless the court orders service to be made upon the party. Service shall be made by delivering the paper to the party or his attorney, as the case may be, or by mailing it to his last known address.
[620]*620(c) Filing. All original pleadings and papers shall be filed with the court either before service or immediately thereafter. The court may allow a copy to be substituted for the original of any document.
(d) Filing with the court defined. The filing of papers with the court as required by these rules is made by filing them with the clerk, except that the judge may permit the papers to be filed with him, in which event he shall note thereon the filing date and transmit them to -the clerk, and the clerk shall file them as of the same date they were filed with the judge.
(e) Certificate of service.
(1) When any party or his attorney in substance certifies: “I certify that copy hereof has been furnished to (here insert name or names) by (delivery) (mail) this-day of-, 19 — .
Party or his attorney.”
the certificate is prima facie proof of such service in compliance with all rules of court and law.
(2) When any paper is served by the clerk, a docket entry shall be made showing the mode and date of service. Such entry is sufficient proof of service without a separate certificate of service.
Committee Note: Sections (a), (b), (c), (d), and (e) are substantially the same as FRCP 1.080(a), (b), (d), (e), and (f).
RULE 7.090. APPEARANCE; DEFENSIVE PLEADINGS; TRIAL DATE.
(a) Appearance. On the date and time appointed in the notice to appear the defendant shall appear personally or by counsel.
(b) Defensive Pleadings. Unless required by order of court, written defensive pleadings are not necessary. If filed, copies of such pleadings shall be served on all other parties to the action at or prior to trial.
(c)Trial Date. The court shall provide for trial of an action on the appearance date or thereafter.
RULE 7.100. COUNTERCLAIMS, SET-OFFS, TRANSFER WHEN EXCESSIVE AND DEPOSIT THEREFOR.
(a) Compulsory Counterclaim. Any claim of the defendant against the plaintiff, arising out of the same transaction or occurrence which is the subject matter of plaintiff’s claim, shall be filed not less than five days prior to the appearance date or within such time as the court designates or it is deemed to be abandoned.
(b) Permissive Counterclaim. Any claim or setoff of the defendant against the plaintiff, not arising out of the transaction or occurrence which is the subject matter of plaintiff’s claim, may be filed not less than five days to the appearance date or within such time as the court designates, and tried, providing that such permissive, defensive claim is within the jurisdiction of the court.
(c) How Filed. Counterclaims and set-offs shall be filed in writing. If additional time is needed to prepare a defense, the court may continue the action.
(d) Transfer When Beyond Jurisdiction. When a counterclaim or setoff exceeds the jurisdiction of the court, it shall be filed in writing before or at the hearing, and the action shall then be transferred to the court having jurisdiction thereof. As evidence of good fatih, the counterclaim-ant shall deposit a sum sufficient to pay the filing fee in the court to which the case is to be transferred with his counterclaim, which shall be sent with the record to the court to which transferred. Failure to make the deposit waives the right to transfer.
[621]*621RULE 7.110. DISMISSAL OF ACTIONS.
(a) Voluntary Dismissal; Effect Thereof.
(1) By parties. Except in action where property has been seized or is in the custody of the court, an action may be dismissed by plaintiff without order of court, (i) by plaintiff informing the defendant and clerk of the dismissal before the trial date fixed in the notice to appear, or before retirement of the jury in a case tried before a jury or before submission of a nonjury case to the court for decision, or (ii) by filing a stipulation of dismissal signed by all parties who have appeared in the action. Unless otherwise stated, the dismissal is without prejudice, except that a dismissal operates as an adjudication upon the merits when a plaintiff has once dismissed in any court an action based on or including the same claim.
(2) By order of the court; if counterclaim. Except as provided in subdivision (a) (1) of this rule, an action shall not be dismissed at a party’s instance except upon order of the court and on such terms and conditions as the court deems proper. If a counterclaim has been made by the defendant before plaintiff dismisses voluntarily, the action shall not be dismissed against defendant’s objections unless the counterclaim can remain pending for independent adjudication. Unless otherwise specified in the order, a dismissal under this paragraph is without prejudice.
(b) Involuntary Dismissal. Any party may move for dismissal of an action or of any claim against him for failure of an adverse party to comply with these rules or any order of Court. After a party seeking affirmative relief in an action has completed the presentation of his evidence, any other party may move for a dismissal on the ground that upon the facts and the law the party seeking affirmative relief has shown no right to relief without waiving his right to offer evidence in the event the motion is not granted. The court may then determine them and render judgment against the party seeking affirmative relief or may decline to render any judgment until the close of all the evidence. Unless the court in its order for dismissal otherwise specifies, a dismissal under this subdivision and any dismissal not provided for in this rule, other than a dismissal for lack of jurisdiction or for improper venue or for lack of an indispensable party, operates as an adjudication upon the merits.
(c) Dismissal of Counterclaim or Cross-Claim. The provisions of this rale apply to the dismissal of any counterclaim or cross-claim.
(d) Costs. Costs in any action dismissed under this rule shall be assessed and judgment for costs entered in that action. If a party who has once dismissed a claim in any court of this State commences an action based upon or including the same claim against the same adverse party, the court shall make such order for the payment of costs of the claim previously dismissed as it may deem proper and shall stay the proceedings in the action until the party seeking affirmative relief has complied with the order.
(e) Failure to Prosecute. All actions in which it does not affirmatively appear from some action taken by filing of pleadings, order of court or otherwise that the same is being prosecuted for a period of one year shall be deemed abated for want of prosecution and shall be dismissed by the court upon its own motion or upon motion of any interested person, whether a party to the action or not, after notice to the parties; provided that actions so dismissed may be reinstated on motion for good cause, such motion to be served by any party within one month after such order of dismissal.
Committee Note: Substantially the same as FRCP 1.420. See also § 45.19(1), Florida Statutes.

RULE 7.130. CONTINUANCES AND SETTLEMENTS.
(a) Continuances. A continuance may be granted only upon good cause shown. The motion for continuance may be oral but the court may require it to be reduced to writing. The action shall be set again for trial as soon as practicable and the parties given timely notice.
(b) Settlements. Settlements in full or by installment payments made by the parties out of the presence of the court are encouraged. The plaintiff shall notify the clerk of settlement and the case may be dismissed or continued pending payments.

RULE 7.140. TRIAL.
(a) Time. The trial shall be had at the time fixed in the notice to appear or such time thereafter as the judge shall designate.
(b) Determination. Issues shall be settled and motions determined summarily.

(d) Settlement. At any time before judgment the judge shall make an effort to assist the parties in settling the controversy.
(e) Assistance by Court. In an effort to secure substantial justice, the court shall assist any party not represented by an attorney on:
(1) Procedure to be followed
(2) Presentation of material evidence
(3) Questions of law.
(f) How Conducted. The trial shall be conducted informally but with decorum befitting a court of justice. The rules of evidence applicable to trial of civil actions apply but are to be liberally construed.
RULE 7.150. JURY TRIALS.
Trial by jury may be had upon written demand by plaintiff made at the commencement of the action or by any defendant within five days after service of the notice to appear. If the demand is not made, the right to trial by jury is waived. Deposit for payment of jurors, taxation of cost of the jury, selection, issuance of venire, summons and pay of jurors shall be as provided by law.
RULE 7.160. FAILURE OF PLAINTIFF OR BOTH PARTIES TO APPEAR.
(a) Plaintiff. If plaintiff fails to appear on the return date, the action may be dismissed for want of prosecution, defendant may proceed to trial on the merits, or the action may be continued as the judge may direct.
(b) Both Parties. If both parties fail to appear, the judge may continue the action or dismiss it for want of prosecution at that time or later as justice requires.
RULE 7.170. DEFAULT; JUDGMENT.
(a) Default. If defendant does not appear at the scheduled time the plaintiff is entitled to a default to be entered by either the judge or clerk.
[623]*623(b)Final Judgment. After default is entered, the judge shall receive evidence establishing the damages and enter judgment in accordance with the evidence and the law.
Committee Note: Evidence may be by testimony, affidavit or other competent means.
RULE 7.180. MOTIONS FOR NEW TRIAL; TIME FOR; CONTENTS.
(a) Time. A motion for new trial shall be filed not later than ten (10) days after the date of the judgment. A timely motion may be amended to state new grounds at any time before it is disposed of in the discretion of the court.
(b) Determination. The motion shall set forth the basis with particularity. Upon examination of the motion, the court may find it without merit and deny it summarily, or may grant a hearing on it with notice.
(c) Grounds. Every order granting a new trial shall specify the particular and specific grounds therefor.
Committee Note: Sections (a) and (c) are substantially the same as FRCP 1.530 (b) and (f).
RULE 7.190. RELIEF FROM JUDGMENT OR ORDER; CLERICAL MISTAKES.
Clerical mistakes in judgments, orders or other parts of the record and errors therein arising from oversight or omission may be corrected by the court at any time of its own initiative or on the motion of any party and after such notice, if any, as the court orders. During the pendency of an appeal, such mistakes may be so corrected before the record on appeal is docketed in the appellate court, and thereafter while the appeal is pending may be so corrected with leave of the appellate court.
Committee Note: See FRCP 1.540(a).
RULE 7.200. EXECUTIONS.
An execution shall issue upon the request of the party entitled thereto. No execution shall issue until the time for filing a motion for new trial has expired or, if a motion for a new trial is filed, until after such motion is disposed of.

(c) Execution. When judgment is entered and execution stayed pending payments, if the judgment debtor fails to pay the installment payments, the judgment creditor may have execution without further notice for the unpaid amount of the judgment.
