BELL v. UNIVERSITY OF FLORIDA

No. 94-2054.

652 So.2d 460 (1995)

James F. BELL, Appellant, v. UNIVERSITY OF FLORIDA and Division of Risk Management, Appellees.

District Court of Appeal of Florida, First District.

March 23, 1995.


Attorney(s) appearing for the Case

Carl Carrillo, Gainesville, for appellant.

Barry D. Graves, Gainesville, for appellees.


DAVIS, Judge.

James F. Bell appeals a final order of the judge of compensation claims (JCC) ruling that under the "facts and circumstances" of this case "penalties should not be imposed upon the Employer/Carrier." The provision creating the right to the statutory penalty sought by Mr. Bell is a remedial statute, and therefore it may be applied to this claim even though enacted after the date of Mr. Bell's injury. Accordingly, we reverse.
