Lockhart Builders, Inc. v. Department of Financial Services, Division of Workers' Compensation
Florida District Courts of Appeal · Decided July 16, 2009 · Barfield, Padovano, Webster
15 So. 3d 767; 2009 Fla. App. LEXIS 9648; 2009 WL 2048956 (Southern Reporter, Third Series)

Lockhart Builders, Inc. v. Department of Financial Services, Division of Workers' Compensation

Opinion

BARFIELD, J.

The final order of the Department of Financial Services (DFS), which rejected the recommended order of the Administrative Law Judge and approved the penalty assessed by its Division of Workers’ Compensation for appellant’s noncompliance with the statutory requirement that it secure workers’ compensation coverage for three employees of one of its subcontractors, is AFFIRMED. See Twin City Roofing Const. Specialists, Inc. v. Fla. Dep’t of Fin. Servs., 969 So.2d 563 (Fla. 1st DCA 2007). However, the case is REMANDED to DFS for correction of the final order to reflect that appellant is released from the stop-work order, conditioned upon its timely payment of the penalty in the agreed upon installments.

PADOVANO and WEBSTER, JJ., concur.
