Proceedings supplementary to execution may be had in accordance with proceedings provided by law or by the Florida Rules of Civil Procedure.
This rule explains how a person who has won a judgment (a "judgment creditor") can find assets belonging to the person who lost (the "judgment debtor") in order to collect the money owed. "Proceedings supplementary" is the legal process used to discover these assets, which can include deposing the debtor or others about their finances. This rule clarifies that the specific procedures for doing this are not found in the Small Claims Rules, but rather in other Florida laws and the main Florida Rules of Civil Procedure.
