Matthews v. Eden Springs Nursing & Rehab Center / MEMIC

JCC Newman (Tallahassee) (Matt Bennett) (2-21-22)– Granted motion to enforce settlement. The parties reached a settlement agreement via email, including the requirement that the claimant sign a general release and resignation, but the claimant refused to sign the documents because she did not want to resign from her job. The JCC found that the claimant’s breach made part of the settlement voidable, but not void. The E/C agreed to move forward despite the refusal to sign the resignation and release.  Therefore, the JCC found that the parties reached a settlement agreement and ordered the claimant to sign the settlement documents within 20 days.   Click here to view Order
