Viteritti v. Peakload, Inc. of America
28 FLW D2161
Claimant sought to overcome settlement agreement previously agreed to between the parties alleging that the employer/carrier concealed his psychiatric conditions from the JCC when the settlement was approved and/or that there was a mistake of fact regarding his condition when the settlement was entered into between the parties. (In two separate orders, the claimant settled his compensation and medical.) JCC denied attempt to set aside settlement based on the doctrine of res judicata. On appeal, order reversed. Court determined that JCC should have made factual determinations as to the applicability of the doctrine and whether application of the doctrine would result in an injustice. The doctrine should not be applied in cases where it would result in an injustice.
