Aloff v. Neff-Harmon, Inc.
463 So.2d 291, (Fla.App. 1 Dist., Dec 11, 1984)
The determination as to whether the claimant was in the
course and scope of his employment is not an issue of
law to be decided by the judge in all cases. If a
factual dispute arises then it is a fact finders
determination to decide the issue of the employment
status. Claimant was on the job approximately two
hours after closing time and was injured when leaving
premises. Plaintiff sued employer in circuit court.
Motion for Summary Judgment granted by lower court
determining that the exclusive remedy provisions of the
Workers' Compensation statute applied. On appeal court
determined this to be error since there was a question
of fact as to whether the claimant was on the job after
closing time for purely personal reasons or whether it
was related to the employment of the claimant.
