Citrus County Hospital Board v. Citrus Memorial Health Foundation, Inc. — Canady, J…

Summary

Justice Canady, dissenting, would have concluded that the Foundation is a public corporation subject to legislative control because it was created by a public hospital board to perform a governmental function using public property and money. He would therefore have rejected the majority's application of the Contract Clause and quashed the First District's decision. His reasoning rests on the distinction between public corporations, which remain subject to legislative regulation, and private corporations with protected contractual property interests.
