METEOR MOTORS v. THOMPSON HALBACH & ASSOCS.

No. 4D04-2985.

914 So.2d 479 (2005)

METEOR MOTORS, INC., d/b/a Palm Beach Acura, Appellant, v. THOMPSON HALBACH & ASSOCIATES, an Arizona corporation, Appellee.

District Court of Appeal of Florida, Fourth District.

Rehearing Denied December 8, 2005.

Attorney(s) appearing for the Case

Nancy A. Copperthwaite and Lawrence D. Silverman of Akerman Senterfitt, Miami, for appellant.

Morris G. (Skip) Miller of Adorno & Yoss, LLP, West Palm Beach, for appellee.

GROSS, J.

The issue in this case is whether a corporate business broker which put the buyer and seller together in the sale of an automobile dealership is precluded from recovering a brokerage fee because it did not comply with the licensing requirements of Chapter 475, Florida Statutes (2004). We hold that section 475.41, Florida Statutes (2004), prevents the broker from enforcing its fee contract and reverse the final judgment entered in favor of the broker.
