Williams v. Department of Business & Professional Regulation
Florida District Courts of Appeal · Decided December 6, 1996 · Cobb, Sharp, Thompson
683 So. 2d 670; 1996 Fla. App. LEXIS 12778; 1996 WL 697262 (Southern Reporter, Second Series)

Williams v. Department of Business & Professional Regulation

Opinion of the Court

COBB, Judge.

We reverse the final order of the Florida Real Estate Commission and remand for entry of a proper order, containing specific findings of fact and conclusions of law. The appellant licensee was subject to discipline under section 475.25(l)(m), Florida Statutes for misrepresenting, in connection with his license renewal application, that he had satisfied the continuing education requirement. See § 475.182, Florida Statutes. However, the final order here fails to comply with the dictates of section 120.59(l)(a), Florida Statutes, which requires that final orders “be in writing and include findings of fact and conclusions of law separately stated....”

REVERSED AND REMANDED.

W. SHARP and THOMPSON, JJ., concur.
