Branham v. TMG Staffing Services

33 FLW D2484

On Motion for Rehearing and Motion for Clarification original opinion at 33 FLW D1588. Previous opinion dated June 18, 2008 withdrawn and opinion in this case substituted. Court determined that even if the JCC applied an incorrect standard in evaluating evidence concerning whether the claimant did or did not receive notice of the applicable statute of limitations, it was determined that such error if committed was harmless. Because the JCC found that the claimant failed to demonstrate by competent substantial evidence that he did not receive notice, it logically follows that claimant cannot demonstrate such lack of notice by a preponderance of the evidence. The competent substantial evidence standard is a lesser standard than the preponderance of the evidence standard. Dissenting opinion.
