Terms Used In Florida Statutes 766.306

  • Appeal: A request made after a trial, asking another court (usually the court of appeals) to decide whether the trial was conducted properly. To make such a request is "to appeal" or "to take an appeal." One who appeals is called the appellant.
  • Statute of limitations: A law that sets the time within which parties must take action to enforce their rights.
The statute of limitations with respect to any civil action that may be brought by, or on behalf of, an injured infant allegedly arising out of, or related to, a birth-related neurological injury shall be tolled by the filing of a claim in accordance with ss. 766.301766.316, and the time such claim is pending or is on appeal shall not be computed as part of the period within which such civil action may be brought.
