Croft v. Pinkerton-Hayes Lumber Co.
386 So.2d 535, (Fla., May 29, 1980)
Claimant suffered a stroke and there was conflicting evidence as to whether such stroke was work related. Court chose the opinion of one doctor who stated that it was related. On appeal, the court stated that it is the function of the court and not the appellate courts to determine such issues. The appellate court should not re-weigh the evidence. The function of the appellate court is simply to determine if there was competent and substantial evidence to support the findings of the judge.
