Florida District Courts of Appeal, 1997

John H. Swisher & Son v. Scantling

Florida District Courts of Appeal · Decided March 5, 1997 · Barfield, Benton, Ervin

690 So. 2d 635; 1997 Fla. App. LEXIS 1814; 1997 WL 90821 (Southern Reporter, Second Series)

Opinion of the Court

PER CURIAM.

The judge of compensation claims correctly imposed attorney’s fees against appellants as a sanction due to their failure to comply with the judge’s prior order approving the parties’ agreement that appellants would pay certain medical bills, which remained unpaid. See Fla. R. Work. Comp. 4.150; § 440.33(1), Fla. Stat. (1991). Cf. Horizon Healthcare v. Murphy, 660 So.2d 1065 (Fla. 1st DCA 1995).

AFFIRMED.

BARFIELD, C.J., and ERVIN and BENTON, JJ., concur.
