Ohio Supreme Court
State ex rel. Prinkey v. Emerine's Towing, Inc.
December 9, 2024177 Ohio St. 3d 536
Summary
The Ohio Supreme Court affirmed the Tenth District Court of Appeals, holding that the Industrial Commission’s staff hearing officer failed to comply with the Noll requirement to state the evidence relied upon and explain its reasoning, rendering the order an abuse of discretion and justifying the mandamus returning the matter to the commission. The Court declined to consider the commission’s argument that R.C. 4123.58(G) was applied retroactively.
