Camp Illahee Investors, Inc. v Blackman

On these consolidated appeals by a disappointed scholarship applicant, the Department of Education (DOE) argues that section 1009.42, Florida Statutes (2003), should be construed as supplanting the Administrative Procedure Act, albeit by implication. Rejecting this interpretation of the applicable statutes, we reverse DOEs order denying eligibility, and remand for a section 120.57 hearing. But we affirm (on grounds that differ from DOEs) the Departments denial of a concurrent petition for declaratory statement.
