Anderson v. TBA Partnership Ltd. f/k/a Youth Services International of Florida, Inc.
23 FLW D2256
Dissenting opinion. Parties entered into standard
Joint Petition Settlement Agreement in which claimant
settled all claims against employer. After workers'
compensation case settled, claimant bought a wrongful
discharge action against employer pursuant to Section
440.201, Florida Statutes. Majority opinion determined
that exculpatory language of standard JP had the effect
of precluding the wrongful discharge action. In
written opinion, this dissenting judge opined that the
general release language of the Joint Petition settling
the workers' compensation claim did not have the effect
of precluding this wrongful discharge case. There was
no separate consideration for this release and the JCC
did not have jurisdiction to settle the wrongful
termination claim.
