Kelley v. Jackson County Tax Collector
24 FLW D2463
Plaintiff filed civil cause of action against defendant
employer for retaliatory discharge pursuant to Section
440.205, Florida Statutes. Plaintiff failed to provide
notice of such a cause of action against public entity
pursuant to Section 768.28, Florida Statutes, and
accordingly, cause of action dismissed. Plaintiff
argued that under Section 440.205, Florida Statutes,
there was an implicit waiver of the notice requirements
of Section 768.28, Florida Statutes. This argument was
rejected by the court. An action for retaliatory
discharge under Section 440.205, Florida Statutes, is
considered a "tort" within the meaning of Section
768.28, Florida Statutes, and accordingly, notice is
required.
