Florida District Courts of Appeal · Decided December 13, 1977 · Anstead, Dauksch, Letts
353 So. 2d 600; 1977 Fla. App. LEXIS 16861 (Southern Reporter, Second Series)

Zarnowski v. State, Department of Commerce, Industrial Relations Commission

Opinion of the Court

PER CURIAM.

We find that the petitioner, Alfred J. Zarnowski, did not receive sufficient notice of a hearing to determine his right to unemployment compensation benefits. The notice stated that only the testimony of the petitioner’s employer would be taken. Instead a final hearing was conducted, and the petitioner was not allowed a reasonable opportunity to present evidence in his own behalf. Accordingly, the petition for writ of certiorari is granted; and the decision of the Industrial Relations Commission is quashed with directions that a new hearing be scheduled before an appeals referee with proper notice thereof to the petitioner.

ANSTEAD, DAUKSCH, and LETTS, JJ., concur. .
