Re: merchantability - implied or otherwise
In Florida, you have 4 years after it was discovered or should have been discovered, with the end-all being 15 years.

If discovered in the 14th year, action must be taken before the 15 year drop-dead time.

There are other things apply too, and, yes, certain actions toll the time.

Nonetheless, the law is vague on what is, and is not, covered. That's where the attorneys come in.

I agree that the best and brightest attorneys are not standing in line for judgeships, however, some highly respected attorneys are willing to put their law practice on hold and become judges, usually not forever, just for awhile, then the go back to their law practice (they either own them and have 'partners' or are one of the partners), with the judge status improving their status and money making.
