City of West Palm Beach v. McGill
27 FLW D99
JCC's award of penalties reversed. Order awarding
penalties must set forth ultimate facts upon which
penalties are based. The citation of a decision by the
First District Court of Appeal is not sufficient to
support an award of penalties. The award must be
supported by ultimate facts apart from the citation of
authority.
Employer/carrier appealed award of penalties based on
the fact that a timely Notice of Denial had been filed.
See Section 440.20(7), Florida Statutes (1991). Court
determined that JCC erred in the award of penalties
since the employer/carrier controverted the claim
within 21 days of the claimant's request for temporary
partial benefits for the time periods in question.
