Legal Question in Civil Litigation in Florida

Re: Privacy & Sanctionable Conduct

no, it is not sanctionable.

Re: Privacy & Sanctionable Conduct

Probably not as the information on the drivers license is generally not considered private. That is, a FL DL does not have a social security number and your name, address are a matter of public record. It would depend on the type of case and the issues involved for the Court to make any decision regarding a sealed record, but Courts generally do not. Court records should be public except in the most extreme of circumstances. Let your attorney handle the issue if he/she feels it is important.

You can file a motion with the court which may or may not be granted. Driver's licenses are considered to be public record and are available to certain persons with a qualifying need. It will be up to the judge in the case as to whether or not the motion to seal your information on your license is granted.
