Committee Notes

2024 Amendment. Rule 1.080(d) aligns the civil rules with
the Florida Rules of Appellate Procedure, which require filing full-
page format transcripts, including depositions, in all appellate
courts. This rule does not prevent the use of condensed transcripts
for other purposes.

Verbatim from the official publication; the only normalization is removal of the publisher's page headers. Verify against the official source for filing-critical use — court publications change without notice.
