The Supreme Court’s February oral argument calendar was just released and a handful of cases will present especially interesting questions to the Court.

On February 3, the Court will hear Board of Trustees, Jacksonville, v. Lee (SC13-1315). The Court will be asked to determine whether there is a good faith exception to s. 119.12, Fla.Stat. which provides for attorney fees where an agency is found to unlawfully restrict access to public records.

Debaun v. Florida (SC13-2336) will be argued on February 4. There, the issue presented will be whether the criminal prohibition in s. 384.42, Fla. Stat. against a person with HIV from having “sexual intercourse” with another applies only to heterosexual vaginal penetration, or whether the statute extends to cover other sexual activity, such as male-male sex as in this case.

Reynolds v. Leon County Energy Improvement District (SC14-710), which will be argued February 5, will be a review of a bond validation proceeding for a special district set up in Leon County to provide financing to homeowners who intend to make energy saving improvements to their homes.
