Ohio Supreme Court

State ex rel. Gault v. Medina Cty. Court of Common Pleas Clerk

October 15, 20252025 Ohio 4699

Summary

The Ohio Supreme Court affirmed the Ninth District Court of Appeals, holding that under the plain text of former R.C. 2303.201(B)(1) a clerk may charge only one additional dollar total for the service of making a complete record, not one dollar per page, and therefore the clerk’s fees to Gault exceeded statutory authority.
