Brown v. City of Fort Lauderdale/Self Insured
Florida District Courts of Appeal · Decided May 26, 1989 · Miner, Nimmons, Wentworth
543 So. 2d 871; 14 Fla. L. Weekly 1297; 1989 Fla. App. LEXIS 3030; 1989 WL 57864 (Southern Reporter, Second Series)

Brown v. City of Fort Lauderdale/Self Insured

Opinion of the Court

PER CURIAM.

The employer/carrier’s controvert of the claim for the February 1987 wage loss benefits was outside the 21-day limit set by Section 440.20(6). The appealed order, in which penalties were denied, failed to explicate the reason for such denial. We reverse such denial and remand with directions that the deputy either award penalties for the February benefits awarded or set forth the reasons for the denial thereof.

We have examined the other points raised by appellant and find them to be without merit.

Affirmed in part, reversed in part and remanded.

WENTWORTH, NIMMONS and MINER, JJ., concur.
