City of Stuart v. McMullian

Fla. Dist. Ct. App.
1976
Check Treatment
PER CURIAM.

The primary issue posed by petitioner is that Section 443.07(5)(b),1 Fla.Stat., explicit*1210ly prohibits respondent from charging petitioner for unemployment compensation benefits erroneously paid by respondent and finally reversed and disqualified by an appeals referee. Baptist Baptist Hospital, Inc. v. White2 is decisive of the issue involved in this cause and requires reversal.

REVERSED.

BOYER, C. J., RAWLS, J., and MCDONALD, PARKER LEE, Associate Judge, concur.
