Adjudicated: Success

A Hillsborough County court set up only to hear complicated business cases has been too successful for its own good — particularly in a sputtering economy not spewing out enough to go around.
The court, in the 13th Judicial Circuit of Hillsborough County, opened in early 2007 as the first of its kind on the Gulf Coast. Known officially as the complex business litigation division, the court's focus was to take on cases with at least $75,000 and a slew of legal issues at stake. (See Review, March 14, 2008.)
