Bright v. Department of Education

We find the Family Medical Leave Act (FMLA), 29 U.S.C. §§ 2601-2654 does not preempt the award of attorney’s fees to a defendant pursuant to section 768.79, Florida Statutes (2006), and Florida Rule of Civil Procedure 1.442. See Marcy v. DaimlerChrysler Corp., 921 So.2d 781 (Fla. 5th DCA 2006). AFFIRMED.
