Vacation Beach, Inc. v. Charles Boyd Construction, Inc‪.‬

The appellant, Vacation Beach, Inc., asserts in this appeal that the lower court erred in compelling arbitration without first ruling on the issue of whether the construction contract that it entered into with the appellee, Charles Boyd Construction, Inc. ("Boyd Construction"), was illegal or in violation of public policy. In view of the Florida Supreme Courts ruling in Cardegna v. Buckeye Check Cashing, Inc., 894 So. 2d 860 (Fla. 2005), approving this courts decisions in FastFunding the Company, Inc. v. Betts, 758 So. 2d 1143 (Fla. 5th DCA 2000), and Party Yards v. Templeton, 751 So. 2d 121 (Fla. 5th DCA 2000), we reverse.
