Department of Transportation/State v. Brown
589 So.2d 1376, 16 Fla. L. Week. D2937, (Fla.App. 1 Dist., Nov 20, 1991)
Section 440.25(3)(e), Florida Statutes, provides that orders of compensation shall set forth the findings of ultimate facts. Appellate courts have on occasion been required to reverse and remand compensation orders for more specific findings when the appealed order fails to set forth findings of facts in sufficient detail to enable the court to determine how the JCC reached his or her conclusion, omitted certain facts, lacked sufficient findings, or contained contradictory statements. Reversal has been required where orders fail to make detailed and specific findings in connection with nature of a claimant's work search in light of all of the existing circumstances of the case or in connection with the claimant's employment history to support an award of permanent total disability benefits. In this case, the court determined that the judge's order was not of sufficient detail for an adequate review and accordingly, the case was remanded for additional findings.
