Ohio Supreme Court

State ex rel. Holderman v. Indus. Comm.

June 24, 20262026 Ohio 2371

Summary

The Ohio Supreme Court held that the Industrial Commission was not required to determine dependency under the final paragraph of R.C. 4123.59(D) after awarding a prospective‑dependency lump‑sum, and therefore vacated the Tenth District Court’s limited writ of mandamus. The Court denied the relator’s motion for oral argument and affirmed the commission’s discretionary award.
