Ryan D. Barack of Kwall, Showers & Barack, P.A.
Generally, the Florida Civil Rights Act ("FCRA"), Sections 760.01 - 760.11, FLORIDA STATUTES, is interpreted in accordance with decisions construing Title VII and other federal employment anti-discrimination laws.
However, there are some differences between the federal anti-discrimination laws and the FCRA. These include differences in the scope of the FCRA, differences in the administrative scheme, and differences in the remedies available to the prevailing plaintiff.
