This reaffirmation comes after the Florida Legislature amended section 90.702 to incorporate the\u00a0<em>Daubert\u00a0<\/em>standard into the Florida Rules of Evidence in 2013.<\/p>\n<p>A little backstory may be instructive. The\u00a0<em>Frye<\/em>\u00a0standard gets its name from a federal court of appeals opinion in\u00a0<em>Frye v. United States<\/em><a href=\"https:\/\/www.carltonfields.com\/insights\/publications\/2018\/supreme-court-of-florida-upholds-the-frye-standard#_ftn2\" name=\"_ftnref2\">[2]<\/a>, which, in general, required expert testimony to be based on \u201cwell-recognized scientific principle or discovery.\u201d<a href=\"https:\/\/www.carltonfields.com\/insights\/publications\/2018\/supreme-court-of-florida-upholds-the-frye-standard#_ftn3\" name=\"_ftnref3\">[3]<\/a>\u00a0Accordingly, novel scientific technique that is not generally accepted by the established scientific community is inadmissible. In Florida, the\u00a0<em>Frye<\/em>\u00a0standard became the rule for the admission of expert testimony.<a href=\"https:\/\/www.carltonfields.com\/insights\/publications\/2018\/supreme-court-of-florida-upholds-the-frye-standard#_ftn4\" name=\"_ftnref4\">[4]<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Almost 50 years after\u00a0<em>Frye<\/em>, the Federal Rules of Evidence were born, which included Rule 702. Rule 702 dealt specifically with the admission of expert testimony at trial. Years later, in its opinion in\u00a0<em>Daubert v. Merrell Dow Pharmaceuticals<\/em><a href=\"https:\/\/www.carltonfields.com\/insights\/publications\/2018\/supreme-court-of-florida-upholds-the-frye-standard#_ftn5\" name=\"_ftnref5\">[5]<\/a>\u00a0dealing with the application of Federal Rules of Evidence Rule 702, the United States Supreme Court determined that the judge is the \u201cgatekeeper\u201d when it comes to admissibility of expert testimony, which contradicted the\u00a0<em>Frye\u00a0<\/em>standard that placed the decision of admissibility with the scientific community. In 2000, Federal Rules of Evidence Rule 702 was amended to reflect the\u00a0<em>Daubert\u00a0<\/em>standard. Since that time, the\u00a0<em>Daubert<\/em>\u00a0standard, as codified in Federal Rules of Evidence Rule 702, is the standard used in all federal courts.<\/p>\n<p>Florida, however, has not followed suit. In 1997, following\u00a0<em>Daubert<\/em>, the Supreme Court of Florida stated that Florida will continue to apply the\u00a0<em>Frye<\/em>\u00a0standard in order to \u201cguarantee the reliability of new or novel scientific evidence.\u201d<a href=\"https:\/\/www.carltonfields.com\/insights\/publications\/2018\/supreme-court-of-florida-upholds-the-frye-standard#_ftn6\" name=\"_ftnref6\">[6]<\/a>\u00a0Despite the Court\u2019s repeated affirmations, the Florida Legislature amended the Florida Rules of Evidence Rule 90.702 to incorporate the\u00a0<em>Daubert\u00a0<\/em>standard.<\/p>\n<p>The question before the Supreme Court of Florida in\u00a0<em>Delisle\u00a0<\/em>concerned the constitutionality of the Florida Legislature\u2019s 2013 amendment to Florida Rules of Evidence Rule 90.702. The Court found that the amendment was unconstitutional because it concerned a procedural, not a substantive, matter, and because the amendment was in conflict with a rule of the Supreme Court of Florida.<\/p>\n<p>The Court stated that Florida Rules of Evidence Rule 90.702 is not substantive because \u201cit does not create, define, or regulate a right.\u201d<a href=\"https:\/\/www.carltonfields.com\/insights\/publications\/2018\/supreme-court-of-florida-upholds-the-frye-standard#_ftn7\" name=\"_ftnref7\">[7]<\/a>\u00a0The Court noted further that this Rule 90.702 \u201csolely regulates the action of litigants in court proceedings,\u201d<a href=\"https:\/\/www.carltonfields.com\/insights\/publications\/2018\/supreme-court-of-florida-upholds-the-frye-standard#_ftn8\" name=\"_ftnref8\">[8]<\/a>\u00a0thus rendering the Rule procedural. Pursuant to the Florida Constitution, the Supreme Court of Florida has the exclusive authority to \u201cadopt rules for the practice and procedure in all courts.\u201d<a href=\"https:\/\/www.carltonfields.com\/insights\/publications\/2018\/supreme-court-of-florida-upholds-the-frye-standard#_ftn9\" name=\"_ftnref9\">[9]<\/a>\u00a0Accordingly, \u201c[t]he Legislature may only repeal the rules of this Court by \u2018general law enacted by two-thirds vote of the membership of each house of the legislature.\u2019\u201d<a href=\"https:\/\/www.carltonfields.com\/insights\/publications\/2018\/supreme-court-of-florida-upholds-the-frye-standard#_ftn10\" name=\"_ftnref10\">[10]<\/a>\u00a0The amended Florida Rules of Evidence Rule 90.702 conflicted with the Supreme Court of Florida\u2019s earlier affirmations that\u00a0<em>Frye<\/em>\u00a0is the applicable procedural standard for the admission of expert testimony. The Florida Legislature failed to collect the required votes.<\/p>\n<p>You may be asking yourself: \u201cThis is all fine and well, but how does this impact me?\u201d Good question. For cases brought in Florida, and depending on the circumstances, litigants may have the option to choose between litigating in federal court or Florida state court, which will cause the expert\u2019s testimony to be scrutinized differently.
