Swanigan v. Dobbs House

442 So.2d 1026, (Fla.App. 1 Dist., Dec 02, 1983)

The court of appeal will not retry the claim at the appellate level and substitute its judgment for that of the deputy on factual issues supported by competent and substantial evidence. The determining point on appeal is not whether there is competent and substantial evidence to overturn the deputy's decision. Rather the issue on appeal is whether there is competent and substantial evidence to support the deputy's award.
