Judge David Langham
The Florida First District Court of Appeal recently dismissed an appeal in the cause of Tommy D. Lay II. v. KBR WC Claims,
1D19-4171(LT 13-014638). There is no extensive written opinion that would come to the attention of those who watch the
Most Recent Written Decisions. Though, as an aside, everyone involved in Florida workers compensation claims (e.g. risk managers, attorneys, adjusters) would be well advised to read those decisions.
There is a tool there, and readers can sign up for notifications when new written decisions are released.
However, the Written Decisions are not the only decisions that the Court makes. Practically, the procedural decisions in each case far outnumber the rendered decisions that ultimately conclude an appellate review. The December 7, 2020 dismissal in Lay certainly is both such a procedural decision and an ultimate conclusion. And, it is but one of the procedural orders entered by the Court in this proceeding.
