Fla. Stat. § 90.207 — Judicial notice by trial court in subsequent proceedings

The failure or refusal of a court to take judicial notice of a matter does not preclude a court from taking judicial notice of the matter in subsequent proceedings.


This statute promotes efficiency and common sense. It clarifies that just because a judge declined to take judicial notice of a fact at one stage of a case (perhaps because a party failed to provide sufficient information), it does not prevent the court from taking notice of that same fact later in the proceedings if proper information is provided. It ensures the issue is not permanently closed off by an earlier refusal.
