Notarian v. Plantation AMC Jeep, Inc.

567 So.2d 1034, 15 Fla. L. Week. D2502, (Fla.App. 4 Dist., Oct 10, 1990)

A cause of action filed pursuant to Section 440.205 Florida Statutes based on wrongful discharge is an assignable cause of action. In this case the court said that the wronged employee can assign his cause of action against the employer to a third party. Such a cause of action is not a common law cause of action for retaliatory discharge and therefore is assignable.
