Ryan D. Barack of Kwall, Showers & Barack, P.A.
As a result of Joshua v. City of Gainesville, 768 So.2d 432 (Fla. 2000), and Woodham v.

This brief article will discuss the question of whether there is a statue of limitations applicable to administrative proceedings under the FCRA and the answer of the Florida Commission on Human Relations ("FCHR").
