Tomlin v. West Coast Industries
Tomlin v. West Coast Industries
Opinion of the Court
Charles Tomlin appeals an order of the Judge of Compensation Claims which dismissed his claim for benefits with prejudice for his failure to attend two independent medical examinations and a deposition.
It was the position of employer/carrier that claimant waived notice and hearing at the pre-trial conference. That conference, however, was not recorded and counsel for appellees was not successful in obtaining approval of a statement of evidence or proceedings pursuant to Fla.R.App.P. 9.200(b)(4) that would demonstrate such waiver. Appellees accordingly confess error.
In view of the confession of error, we reverse the order on appeal and remand the cause to the Judge of Compensation Claims for further proceedings.
