1Opinion of the Court
THORNTON, JOHN W., JR., Associate Judge.
Appellant brought the action below to vacate an arbitral award on the ground that it was based on an illegal contract. Appellee filed both a motion to dismiss and a motion to enforce the award. The trial court did not address the issue of the contract’s legality, dismissed Appellant’s action and entered an order enforcing the arbitral award. Because a Florida court cannot enforce an illegal contract, we reverse and remand for the trial court to consider the legality of the contract.
