Cases

Section 440.25(4)(e), Florida Statutes, requires the JCC only to set forth in his order the findings of ultimate facts and the mandate; the order need not include any other reason or justification for such mandate. However, the JCC must make sufficient findings of ultimate fact to permit appellate review. In this case, the factual findings made by the JCC consisted of summarizing the claimant’s testimony but no medical testimony was mentioned. Court determined in this instance that JCC failed to make ultimate findings of fact precluding meaningful appellate review. Case remanded for further proceedings.
