Description
TERRELL, Justice. On November 22, 1946, the claimant sustained an injury to the great toe of his right foot. His claim for compensation was contested on the ground that the injury was not sustained in the course of his employment. The controversy was heard by the Deputy Commissioner and compensation was awarded and paid up to and including August 16, 1947. The claimant then filed his claim for additional compensation which was denied after considerable medical testimony was taken. The time for taking an appeal to the Industrial Commission expired and no appeal was taken. In 1949 claimant applied to the Deputy Commissioner for modification of the order denying his claim for additional compensation based on misinterpretation of the facts adduced. Additional evidence was taken and the carrier was ordered to bear the expense of an operation recommended by the doctor's report and to pay compensation pending recovery from the operation. On appeal to the full Commission this order was reversed and the claim was dismissed. On appeal the Circuit Court found that there was substantial evidence to sustain the finding of the Deputy Commissioner, on the strength of which he reversed the order of the full Commission and reinstated the order of the Deputy Commissioner. The carrier and the Florida Industrial Commission have appealed from the latter order.
