Ohio Supreme Court

Sauter v. Integrity Cycles, L.L.C.

January 15, 20262026 Ohio 88

Summary

The Ohio Supreme Court held that Ohio’s saving statute R.C. 2305.19 requires a claim dismissed to be refiled by the anniversary of the dismissal, not a year plus a day, and reversed the appellate court’s judgment. The Court reasoned that the plain language of the statute and related time‑computation statutes mandate a twelve‑month period counted from the day after dismissal.
