More on Emma Murray

By David A. McCranie, Esq.

Yesterday's decision in Murray v. Mariner Health has generated a fair amount of press coverage and reaction from various industry groups.  You can read coverage from the St. Pete Times here, from the Palm Beach Post here, and from the Insurance Journal here.  The Florida Chamber of Commerce has also issued this statement warning of the consequences of the decision for Florida employers.

Given the strong industry reaction to the decision and given the fact that the court rested its decision on statutory construction grounds rather than addressing the constitutional challenges to the statute, I think it's a fair assumption that this issue will be hotly contested in the 2009 legislative session.
