McArthur Farms v. Peterson

586 So.2d 1273, 16 Fla. L. Week. D2544, (Fla.App. 1 Dist., Sep 30, 1991)

Parties entered into a joint petition settlement agreement wherein the employer/carrier agreed to pay costs along with other parts of the claim for benefits. Court determined that joint petition was referring only to taxable costs as opposed to costs in general. Generally, a prevailing party may only collect taxable costs rather than all costs which they have incurred. Costs do not include attorney's fee.
