Supreme Court of Florida

Rosalie Whiley v. Hon. Rick Scott

August 16, 201136 Fla. L. Weekly Supp. 451

Summary

Chief Justice Canady, dissenting, argues that the majority improperly restricts the Governor’s constitutional authority to supervise agency rulemaking and bases its decision on hypothetical violations of the APA. The dissent maintains that the Governor’s executive orders are within his supreme executive power and that no actual breach of law is shown, therefore the petition for a writ of quo warranto should be denied.
