Rule 1.418 Contract

If you file a court document that mentions a contract, you need to say whether that contract was written down or just spoken. This applies to any pleading, meaning any formal document you file as part of your case.

This rule keeps things clear from the start. The other side and the court will know right away what kind of contract is involved, which helps avoid confusion later about whether there's a written document to look at or whether the agreement was based on a verbal understanding between the parties.
