Middlesex Corporation v. Patterson
28 FLW D1743
Court determined that JCC has jurisdiction to enforce an oral settlement agreement entered into pursuant to Section 440.20(11)(c), Florida Statutes. A settlement agreement authorized under Section 440.20(110(c), Florida Statutes, does not have to be in writing in order to be binding and thus enforceable by the JCC. Rule 4.142 requires any agreement, other than those involving Section 440.20(11) to be in writing or dictated on the record to be valid. No documentation needs to be presented to the JCC in support of a settlement except to justify the amount of attorney's fees and the appropriate recovery of any child support arrearage. Opinion withdrawn.
