District Court of Appeal of Florida
Dumorange v. Florida Unemployment Appeals Comm'n, 3d05-2946
Dismissal of appellant's unemployment compensation appeal by the Florida Unemployment Appeals Commission (UAC) as untimely is reversed where Hurricane Wilma delayed appellant's response, and the UAC's dismissal of appellant's appeal constituted a denial of due process given Hurricane Wilma's impact and appellant's diligence in pursuing his appeal as soon as practicable.
