Harris v. Florida Unemployment Appeals Commission
Florida District Courts of Appeal · Decided March 4, 2003 · Allen, Benton, Hawkes
838 So. 2d 668; 2003 Fla. App. LEXIS 2478; 2003 WL 716806 (Southern Reporter, Second Series)

Harris v. Florida Unemployment Appeals Commission

Opinion of the Court

PER CURIAM.

Angela Harris appeals the denial of unemployment compensation benefits. We find that the record lacks competent substantial evidence to support the referee’s finding that Harris committed an offense that would disqualify her from employment under section 435.04, Florida Statutes (2001). Harris is eligible for unemployment compensation because the employer failed to meet its burden of proof. Accordingly, we reverse and remand with instructions to grant the benefits due under Chapter 443, Florida Statutes.

REVERSED and REMANDED.

ALLEN, C.J., and BENTON and HAWKES, JJ., Concur.
