Abreu v. Krama Construction Inc.

Florida District Courts of Appeal
Abreu v. Krama Construction Inc., 870 So. 2d 917 (2004)
2004 Fla. App. LEXIS 5465; 2004 WL 840256
Fletcher, Gersten, Shevin

Abreu v. Krama Construction Inc.

Opinion of the Court

PER CURIAM.

We reverse the order dismissing Abreu’s appeal from the appeal referee’s order denying unemployment compensation benefits. Abreu’s communications with the Commission demonstrate that he did not receive notice of the hearing, nor any other document thereafter. Hence, the record does not contain competent substantial evidence to support the Commission’s finding that Abreu’s appeal was untimely. Guerrero v. Fla. Unemployment Appeals Comm’n, 855 So.2d 266 (Fla. 3d DCA 2003); Applegate v. Nat’l Health Care Affiliates, Inc., 667 So.2d 332 (Fla. 1st DCA 1995); Landrum v. James Rummer Timber Harvesting, Inc., 645 So.2d 577 (Fla. 2d DCA 1994). In order to ensure that Abreu’s due process rights are observed, we remand for an evidentiary hearing on this issue. If the Commission determines that Abreu did not receive notice of the decision, his appeal shall be allowed to proceed. Guerrero.
