Freiheit v. Coconut Creek Developers
Florida District Courts of Appeal · Decided August 11, 1981 · Booth, Shaw, Wentworth
401 So. 2d 1176; 1981 Fla. App. LEXIS 20707 (Southern Reporter, Second Series)

Freiheit v. Coconut Creek Developers

Opinion of the Court

WENTWORTH, Judge.

Claimant appeals a workers’ compensation order which we affirm except as to the *1177deputy commissioner’s denial of the claim for penalties pursuant to § 440.20(7), Florida Statutes. Appellee concedes that claimant was entitled to such a “penalty award,” and the order appealed is accordingly reversed on this issue and remanded to the deputy commissioner for the assessment and imposition of the statutory penalty.

BOOTH and SHAW, JJ., concur.
