Legal Question in Civil Litigation in Florida

Re: Rules governing documents summited in complaint

First question: yes; Second question: perhaps but only if the alterations or changes mischaracterize the original document or are designed to perpetrate a fraud. For example, if the alterations involve notes on a document that do not necessarily alter the meaning of the document or the original language on a document, then you may not have a problem as the notes might actually clarify or further illustrate the purpose of the document. However, if the alterations involve changes to the language or deletion of parts that may be harmful to your case, then that is a no no. If you have produced the altered documents, you should have also produced a disclosure of the nature and extent of any alterations to such documents, which will obviously invite the opposing attorney to inquire as to why the alterations were made in the first place; Third question: depending on the circumstances, yes. Good luck.
