Commercial Carrier Corporation v. Johnson

18 FLW D1242, May 13, 1993

The parties agreed that a request for an increase in the average weekly wage would not be decided in the scheduled hearing. Court determined that JCC erred in view of this stipulation in entering an order increasing the average weekly wage, contrary to the agreement by the parties. An award on a claim which has been withdrawn by stipulation of the parties neither comports with the general equirement that a claim must identify the matters to be litigated nor comports with the prohibition against awarding benefits which are beyond the scope of the hearing.JCC erred in awarding penalties against the employer/carrier without stating the ultimate facts upon which such penalties are based. An order must set forth the findings of fact or conclusions of law that support the imposition of penalties.
