Deconna Ice Cream Co. v. Desourdy

District Court of Appeal of Florida, First District
Apr 8, 1980
382 So. 2d 138 (Fla. Dist. Ct. App. 1980)

Opinion

No. QQ-365.

April 8, 1980.

Appeal from the Judge of Industrial Claims.

Jerry V. Wilkey and Ronnie K. Witlin, Coral Gables, for appellant.

Harry W. Spisak, Homestead, for appellee.


Substantial competent evidence supports the decision of the Judge of Industrial Claims that claimant was temporarily totally disabled, by reason of a compensable subendocardial infarction. The compensation order is deficient, however, in its failure to record findings which conceivably may excuse the failure of those rendering medical services to provide timely reports to the employer and carrier. Section 440.13(1), Florida Statutes (1979). The order is also deficient in awarding an attorney's fee which inappropriately takes into consideration professional services rendered claimant in proceedings before the Industrial Relations Commission where claimant did not prevail. The order will therefore be vacated and the cause remanded.

REVERSED.

SHAW, J., concurs.

BOOTH, J., dissents, with opinion.


I dissent from this court's retention of jurisdiction in this case, which arose outside the territorial jurisdiction of the court. See Crews v. Town of Bay Harbor, 378 So.2d 1265, 1979 (Fla. 1st DCA).

On the merits, I would concur in the majority's opinion.
