FINAL JUDGMENT OF REPLEVIN This matter was heard on plaintiff’s complaint. On the evidence presented IT IS ADJUDGED that: 1. Plaintiff, .....(name and address)....., has the right against defendant, .....(name and address, and last 4 digits of social security if known)....., to retain possession of the following described property: (list the property and include a value for each item) 2.

ORDERED at ...................., Florida, on .....(date)...... Judge NOTE: This form applies when the plaintiff has recovered possession under a writ of replevin and prevailed on the merits. Pursuant to section 78.18, Florida Statutes (1995), paragraph 2 of the form provides that the plaintiff can also recover damages for the wrongful taking and detention of the property, together with costs. Generally these damages are awarded in the form of interest unless loss of use can be proven. Ocala Foundry & Machine Works v. Lester, 49 Fla. 199, 38 So. 51 (1905). If the defendant has possession of part of the property, see form 1.995(b). (b) Judgment in Favor of Plaintiff when Defendant Has Possession. FINAL JUDGMENT OF REPLEVIN This matter was heard on plaintiff’s complaint. On the evidence presented IT IS ADJUDGED that: April 1, 2026 Florida Rules of Civil Procedure 304 1. Plaintiff, .....(name and address)....., has the right against defendant, .....(name and address, and last 4 digits of social security number if known)....., to possession of the following described property: (list the property and include a value for each item) for which the clerk of the court shall issue a writ of possession; or 2.

Section 78.19, Florida Statutes (1995), allows the plaintiff to recover the property or its value or the value of the plaintiff’s lien or special interest. The value for purposes of paragraph 2 is either the value of the property or the value of the plaintiff’s lien or special interest. Paragraph 3 of the form provides for damages for detention only against the defendant because the defendant’s surety obligates itself only to ensure forthcoming of the property, not damages for its detention. Pursuant to section 78.19(2), Florida Statutes, paragraphs 1 and 2 of the form provide the plaintiff the option of obtaining either a writ of possession or execution against the defendant and defendant’s surety on a money judgment for property not recovered. Demetree v. Stramondo, 621 So. 2d 740 (Fla. 5th DCA 1993). If the plaintiff elects the writ of possession for the property and the sheriff is unable to find it or part of it, the plaintiff may immediately have execution against the defendant for the whole amount recovered or the amount less the value of the property found by the sheriff. If the plaintiff elects execution for the whole amount, the officer shall release all property taken under the writ. If the plaintiff has possession of part of the property, see form 1.995(a).

The prevailing defendant may be awarded possession, damages, if any, for the taking of the property, costs, and attorneys’ fees. If the plaintiff has possession of part of the property, see form 1.995(d). (d) Judgment in Favor of Defendant when Plaintiff Has Possession.

Defendant, .....(name and address)....., has the right against plaintiff, .....(name and address, and last four digits of social security number if known)....., to recover possession of the following described property: (list the property and include a value for each item) for which the clerk of the court shall issue a writ of possession; or 2. Defendant shall recover from plaintiff [if applicable add “and surety on plaintiff’s bond”] the sum of $.......... for the value of the property, which shall bear interest at the rate of .....% per year, for which let execution issue. 3. Defendant shall recover from plaintiff the sum of $.......... as damages for detention of the property and the sum of $.......... as costs, making a total of $.........., which shall bear interest at the rate of .....% per year, for which let execution issue. ORDERED at ...................., Florida, on .....(date)...... Judge NOTE: This form should be used when the defendant prevails but the plaintiff has possession of the property. Section 78.21, Florida Statutes (1995), does not provide for an award of attorneys’ fees when the defendant prevails and possession had been temporarily retaken by the plaintiff. Sections 78.21 and 78.19 allow the defendant to recover the property or its value or the value of the defendant’s special interest. Paragraphs 1 and 2 of the form provide to the defendant the option of obtaining either a writ of possession or execution against the plaintiff and plaintiff’s surety on a money judgment for property not recovered and costs. Demetree v. Stramondo, 621 So. 2d 740 (Fla. 5th DCA 1993). If the defendant elects the writ of possession for the property and the sheriff is unable to find it or part of it, the defendant may immediately have execution against the plaintiff and surety for the whole amount recovered or the amount less the value of the property found by the sheriff. If the defendant elects execution for the whole amount, the officer shall release all property taken under the writ. If the defendant has possession of part of the property, see form 1.995(c).

By electronic sale beginning at .....(time of sale)..... on the prescribed date at .....(website)...... 4. Costs. Plaintiff must advance all subsequent costs of this action and must be reimbursed for them by the clerk if plaintiff is not the purchaser of the property for sale, provided, however, that the purchaser of the property for sale must be responsible for the documentary stamps payable on the April 1, 2026 Florida Rules of Civil Procedure 308 certificate of title. If plaintiff is the purchaser, the clerk must credit plaintiff’s bid with the total sum with interest and costs accruing subsequent to this judgment, or such part of it as is necessary to pay the bid in full. 5.

Right of Redemption/Right of Possession. On filing the certificate of sale, defendant(s) and all persons claiming under or against defendant(s) since the filing of the notice of lis pendens must be foreclosed of all estate or claim in the property and defendant’s right of redemption as prescribed by section 45.0315, Florida Statutes, must be terminated, except as to the rights of a bona fide tenant occupying residential premises under the federal Protecting Tenants at Foreclosure Act, 12 U.S.C § 5220, note, or section 83.5615, Florida Statutes, and claims or rights under chapter 718 or chapter 720, Florida Statutes, if any.

Attorneys’ Fees. [If a default judgment has been entered against the mortgagor] Because a default judgment has been entered against the mortgagor and because the fees requested do not exceed 3% of the principal amount owed at the time the complaint was filed, it is not necessary for the court to hold a hearing or adjudge the requested attorneys’ fees to be reasonable. [If no default judgment has been entered against the mortgagor] The court finds, based on the affidavits/testimony presented and on inquiry of counsel for the plaintiff that .......... hours were reasonably expended by plaintiff's counsel and that an hourly rate of $.......... is appropriate. Plaintiff’s counsel represents that the attorneys’ fees awarded does not exceed its contract fee with the plaintiff. The court finds that there is/are no reduction or enhancement factors for consideration by the court under Florida Patients Compensation Fund v. Rowe, 472 So. 2d 1145 (Fla. 1985). (If the court has found that there are reduction or enhancement factors to be applied, then such factors must be identified and explained herein). April 1, 2026 Florida Rules of Civil Procedure 309 [If the fees to be awarded are a flat fee] The requested attorneys’ fees are a flat rate fee that the firm’s client has agreed to pay in this matter. Given the amount of the fee requested and the labor expended, the court finds that a lodestar analysis is not necessary and that the flat fee is reasonable. 8. Jurisdiction Retained. Jurisdiction of this action is retained to enter further orders that are proper including, without limitation, a deficiency judgment.

April 1, 2026 Florida Rules of Civil Procedure 337 APPENDIX II STATEWIDE UNIFORM GUIDELINES FOR TAXATION OF COSTS IN CIVIL ACTIONS Purpose and Application. These guidelines are advisory only. The taxation of costs in any particular proceeding is within the broad discretion of the trial court. The trial court should exercise that discretion in a manner that is consistent with the policy of reducing the overall costs of litigation and of keeping such costs as low as justice will permit. With this goal in mind, the trial court should consider and reward utilization of innovative technologies by a party which subsequently minimizes costs and reduce the award when use of innovation technologies that were not used would have resulted in lowering costs. In addition, these guidelines are not intended to (1) limit the amount of costs recoverable under a contract or statute, or (2) prejudice the rights of any litigant objecting to an assessment of costs on the basis that the assessment is contrary to applicable substantive law. Burden of Proof. Under these guidelines, it is the burden of the moving party to show that all requested costs were reasonably necessary either to defend or prosecute the case at the time the activity precipitating the cost was undertaken.
