1Opinion of the Court
STOKER, Judge.
The parties in this suit disagree concern*608ing the right of the defendant1 to a reduction of workers’ compensation benefits owed to the disabled plaintiff, Bruce Fonte-not. The plaintiff seeks reversal of the trial court’s ruling on two grounds: (1) plaintiff urges that defendant is entitled to no reduction at all, but (2) if defendant is entitled to reduction, then the trial court erred in its method of computing the amount of the reduction. The defendant takes the position that the trial court’s judgment is correct.
We reverse and remand.
