Web: www.JonesHealthLaw.comPhone: (305)877-5054Instagram: @JonesHealthLawFacebook: @JonesHealthLawYouTube: @JonesHealthLawEquitable tolling is a legal doctrine that can be used as a remedy in limited circumstances to extend filing deadlines.The Legislature usually lacks leniency when it comes to timely filings, so the only equitable defense under Ch. 120 Administrative Procedure Act is the Doctrine of Equitable Tolling. This means that petitions that are filed after the 21 day time period are usually considered a waiver of rights to an administrative hearing unless this defense applies.
