STATE OF FLORIDA, PETITIONER,
v.
NASH N. CRONIN, ET AL., RESPONDENTS
LEWIS, J.
We have for review the decision of the First District Court of Appeal, State v. Cronin, 774 So. 2d 871 (Fla. 1st DCA 2000), which declared section 817.234(8) of the Florida Statutes invalid. The court also certified its decision to be in conflict with decisions of other district courts. We have jurisdiction. See art. V, § 3(b)(3), Fla. Const. This Court addressed the issue presented here in State v. Bradford, 787 So. 2d 811 (Fla.2001), holding that the statute at issue “unconstitutionally infringes upon the protections afforded commercial speech by the First Amendment to the United States Constitution.” Id. at 814. As the district court’s holding is consistent with Bradford, the decision is approved.
It is so ordered.
WELLS, C.J., and SHAW, HARDING, ANSTEAD, PARIENTE, and QUINCE, JJ., concur.

Kathleen G. Kozinski, P.A. v. Phillips, 126 So. 3d 1264 (Fla. 4th DCA 2013)…68] Florida law clearly distinguishes between void judgments, which a party may move to vacate at any time, and voidable judgments, which a party must move to vacate within one year of the entry of the judgment.

A total lack of service of process renders a judgment void, not voidable. See M.L. Builders, Inc. v. Reserve Developers, LLP, 769 So. 2d 1079, 1080 (Fla. 4th DCA 2…

In the present case, however, Ramos was served as Ramos, not “as resident agent” or as an officer of the corporate defendant, Panchita. Finally, Cannella v. Auto-Owners Ins. Co., 801 So. 2d 94 (Fla.2001), does not require a different result here. The issue in that case was whether service of process on Monica Mock as registered agent3 of a dissolved corporation (Mock Plumbing, Inc.) would suffice in view of a specific statute requiring se…

Regions Bank v. BIG Bend Inv. Grp. of Fla., LLC, 311 So. 3d 181 (Fla. 2d DCA 2020)…cient notice of hearing sent to Dr. Mehta's bankruptcy counsel (which could possibly be considered voidable) as an outright failure to provide him with notice (which would be considered void). That was error. See Cannella v. Auto- Owners Ins. Co., 801 So. 2d 94, 99-100 (Fla. 2001); State ex rel. Gore v. Chillingworth, 171 So. 649, 652 (Fla. 1936); Decker v. Kaplus, 763 So. 2d 1229, 1230 (Fla. 5th DCA - 6 - 2000). "It is only where service is so defective as to amount to no notice that a judgment is void,…
