Summary
The Ohio Supreme Court held that the Department of Rehabilitation and Correction's production of a master file in response to a limited writ, without disputing possession, established a failure to comply with the Public Records Act, and awarded the relator $1,000 in statutory damages because more than ten business days elapsed before compliance.
