Summary of this case from Douglas v. Fla. Power and Light, Inc.Opinion
No. 98-2050.
Opinion filed June 30, 1999. Rehearing Denied August 4, 1999.
An appeal from an order of Judge of Compensation Claims Stephen P. Cullen.
David L. Kahn of David L. Kahn, P.A., Ft. Lauderdale, for appellant.
H. George Kagan and Elliot B. Kula of Miller, Kagan, Rodriguez Silver, P.A., West Palm Beach, for appellees.
As appellees' counsel conceded at oral argument, that the judge of compensation claims (JCC) had no authority to enter the order under review and that the order also had no legally binding effect on the parties, we vacate the JCC's order determining that the employer/carrier was entitled to a vocational evaluation of the claimant pursuant to section 440.15(1)(e) and section 440.491, Florida Statutes (1997).
