Cooper v. Florida Unemployment Appeals Commission
Florida District Courts of Appeal · Decided February 18, 1994 · Miner, Wolf, Zehmer
632 So. 2d 235; 1994 Fla. App. LEXIS 1240; 1994 WL 47121 (Southern Reporter, Second Series)

Cooper v. Florida Unemployment Appeals Commission

Opinion of the Court

PER CURIAM.

The Unemployment Appeals Commission construed the employment contract as a bar to all outside employment. We find the terms of the contract to be ambiguous so that the employee, who held a real estate license, would not have understood that he was prohibited from listing his own house for sale. The order denying unemployment benefits is reversed.

ZEHMER, C.J., and MINER and WOLF, JJ., concur.
