HEALTH QUEST CORP. v. DHRS

No. 89-302.

593 So.2d 533 (1992)

HEALTH QUEST CORPORATION IV, Health Quest Corporation, and Federal Property Management Corporation, Appellants, v. DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH AND REHABILITATIVE SERVICES, Appellee.

District Court of Appeal of Florida, First District.

January 14, 1992.


Attorney(s) appearing for the Case

Robert D. Newell, Jr. of Newell & Stahl, P.A., Tallahassee, for appellants.

Richard A. Patterson, Asst. Gen. Counsel, Dept. of Health and Rehabilitative Services, Tallahassee, for appellee.


BOOTH, Judge.

This cause is before us on appeal from an order declaring appellants' certificate of need (CON) void due to expiration. Appellants contend, inter alia, that the hearing officer erred in (1) construing statutory provisions providing for an extension for good-faith delay in the commencement of construction, and (2) finding that the CON expired on Sunday, April 17, 1988, rather than the following Monday. Finding merit in both contentions, we reverse.
