Holding used by this project: When a right of access for redress of a particular injury existed before the 1968 Constitution, the Legislature cannot abolish it without providing a reasonable alternative, unless it shows an overpowering public necessity and no alternative method of meeting that necessity.

Limit: Application of that framework to the combined statutory system discussed by Florida Hellthcare is project analysis, not a holding already entered in this project’s favor.
