limitations serves to bar an action.”); Powell v. Madison Cnty. Sheriff’s Dep’t,

100 So. 3d 753, 754 (Fla. 1st DCA 2012) (affirming dismissal for failure to

effectuate service despite expiration of statute of limitations where trial court

balanced the competing policy considerations between achieving a

resolution on the merits and the preclusive effect of the statute of limitations).
