East v. Pensacola Tractor & Equipment Co., Inc.
384 So.2d 156, (Fla.App. 1 Dist., Apr 16, 1980)
Where no fraud has been practiced on the workman or his employer and no mutual mistake in a contract for settlement the courts are bound to respect and enforce the settlements made by the parties and are powerless to disturb such contracts of settlement. In this case the employer failed to mention to the JIC a substantially higher rating than was represented to the Judge in the first instance and based on this misrepresentation by the carrier the joint petition was overturned.
