The Department brought an administrative proceeding against Daniels but later dismissed it. Daniels sought attorney's fees under the Florida Equal Access to Justice Act but was denied these fees because both the administrative law judge and the district court of appeal found that she was not a "small business party" within the meaning of the statute. The issue to be decided is whether the owner of a partnership or a corporation who prevails in an administrative proceeding initiated by a state agency is a "prevailing small business party" within the meaning of the FEAJA when the administrative complaint was filed against the Daniels individually, rather than against the corporation or partnership.
