Full title: FLORIDA POWER CORPORATION, APPELLANT, v. WILLIE BAKER, APPELLEE

Court: District Court of Appeal of Florida, First District

Date published: Mar 10, 1982

410 So. 2d 179 (Fla. Dist. Ct. App. 1982)

Opinion

No. AC-7.

February 9, 1982. Rehearing Denied March 10, 1982.

Appeal from the Deputy Commissioner.

James B. Cantrell of Pitts, Eubanks Ross, Orlando, for appellant.

Edward A. Nagel, Winter Park, for appellee.

PER CURIAM.

In this workers' compensation order, we affirm as to all points raised except the portion of the attorney's fee award based on the time the claimant's attorney spent in preparation and presentation of his claim for an attorney's fee, which is clearly not awardable. See Osceola Petroleum Co. v. Heard, IRC Order 2-3347 (February 13, 1978). Therefore, this cause is remanded so that the deputy commissioner can accordingly reduce the attorney's fee award.

McCORD, ERVIN and SHAW, JJ., concur.
