In Merrill Lynch, Pierce, Fenner & Smith, Inc. v. Melamed, 405 So. 2d 790, 792 (Fla. 4th DCA 1981), the Fourth District explained that, where the Federal Arbitration Act conflicts with Florida law, the federal law controls: The supremacy clause requires us to resolve any inconsistency between the two laws in favor of the federally created right, and to subordinate Florida law to the supreme law of the land. The Court therefore held that Florida courts must recognize and apply the Federal Arbitration Act and that arbitration agreements which are valid and enforceable under the federal law are also valid and enforceable in Florida courts. Melamed, 405 So. 2d at 792.
