Scherr; 322 S. 3d 138 (Fla. 3d DCA), wherein the appellate court reversed a judgment in favor of a minority shareholder in a derivative action because the minority shareholder had not made pre-suit demand on the board of directors, confirming that Florida was a "universal demand" jurisdiction at the time the derivative suit was filed, among other notable law-making decisions.
