Knight v. City of Miami
Florida District Courts of Appeal · Decided October 12, 1982 · Ervin, Mills, Wigginton
421 So. 2d 21; 1982 Fla. App. LEXIS 28125 (Southern Reporter, Second Series)

Knight v. City of Miami

Opinion of the Court

MILLS, Judge.

Knight appeals a compensation order denying interest and attorneys’ fees. We affirm.

As conceded by Knight, the propriety of interest is controlled by Department of Labor and Employment Security v. Vaughan, 411 So.2d 294 (Fla. 1st DCA 1982).

Attorneys’ fees are not available from the State without statutory authority, and since the State is not an employer/carrier in this case there is no such authority.

ERVIN and WIGGINTON, JJ., concur.
