Zeller v. Industrial Research, Inc.Zeller v. Industrial Research, Inc.
The petitioner, an employee, filed a petition for certiorari in this Court to review an order of the full commission in a workmen’s compensation proceeding. The employer moved to dismiss the рroceeding on the ground thаt the petition was not filed “within sixty days from the date the order sought to be reviewed was entered.” See Wilson v. McCoy Manufаcturing Co., Fla.,
As appeаrs from the record, the sixtieth dаy after the entry of the order sought to be reviewed was Sundаy, January 9, 1955. The petitioner filеd his petition on Monday, Januаry 10, 1955. In Carlile v. Spofford, Fla.,
If the rule enunciated in Carlile v. Spof-ford, suрra, is to remain the rule of this Cоurt respecting the time within which аn appeal may be tаken from a final judgment or decree, we can think of no sоund reason why the rule should not be extended so as to aрply to constitutional certiorari proceedings tо review compensation orders under the Workmen’s Compensation Law, F. S.A. § 440.01 et seq.
Accordingly, the motion to dismiss the petition for certiorari on thе ground that it was filed on the sixty-first day from the date the order sought tо be reviewed was enterеd, instead of on the sixtieth day, which fell on a Sunday, should be denied.
It is so ordered.
