Jones v. Brevard County Solid Waste Division / Preferred Government Claims Solutions

JCC Dietz (Sebastian/Melbourne)(Derrick Cox)(11-9-21) – Granted Motion to Enforce Settlement Agreement. The parties settled at mediation. The claimant argued that he was sleepy and groggy due to medication taken on the day of the mediation. The JCC found that the mediation would have been stopped had there been a question about the claimant’s capacity to attend mediation. The attorneys testified that there was no reason to believe that there was an issue regarding the claimant’s ability to make a decision to settle the case during mediation. He also argued that he was not sure of the settlement amount at the time of the mediation and did not agree with the settlement amount on the paperwork he received. The JCC rejected those arguments as well. Click here to view Order
