v.
MICHAEL JONES, APPELLEE

Fla. 1st DCA | 1993-02-01
No. 91-3749
KAHN and MICKLE, JJ., concur.
613 So. 2d 121 Florida District Court of Appeal, First District (1993) Positive Treatment
Cited by 5 cases

Opinion of the Court
WIGGINTON, Judge.

WIGGINTON, Judge.

Appellants, employer/carrier, appeal the judge of compensation claim’s order finding appellee’s injury compensable and awarding benefits accordingly. Having carefully reviewed the record in this case, we find that appellee failed to meet his burden of proving by competent substantial evidence that a compensable accident occurred. A finding of compensability on the basis of the instant record fails to accord with logic and reason. See Paul H. Cowart/Building Specialty v. Cowart, 481 So. 2d 83 (Fla. 1st DCA 1986). Therefore, we reverse.

KAHN and MICKLE, JJ., concur.

    …e find the order will very likely preclude any visitation. The posting of a bond as a condition precedent to visitation is not a unique requirement. In a somewhat similar scenario, such a bond was upheld by the first district. Scharmen v. Scharmen, 613 So. 2d 121 (Fla. 1st DCA 1993). In Scharmen, the court did not disturb a lower courts requirement of a father to post a $2500 bond in order to have visitation after he had “absconded to Georgia with the children,” Id. at 122. The opinion does not address the r…
