John H. Swisher & Son v. Scantling

District Court of Appeal of Florida

Decided March 5, 1997No. 96-1679Published

1Per curiam

The judge of compensation claims correctly imposed attorney’s fees against appellants as a sanction due to their failure to comply with the judge’s prior order approving the parties’ agreement that appellants would pay certain medical bills, which remained unpaid. See Fla. R. Work. Comp. 4.150; § 440.33(1), Fla. Stat. (1991). Cf. Horizon Healthcare v. Murphy, 660 So.2d 1065 (Fla. 1st DCA 1995).

AFFIRMED.
