State ex rel. Macksyn v. Spencer

Summary

The Ohio Supreme Court awarded $2,000 in statutory damages to relator Delanor L. Macksyn for two separate April public‑records requests, finding the department’s year‑long delay unreasonable. It denied statutory‑damage claims for the March requests and dismissed Macksyn’s motions to proceed to judgment and to strike the respondents’ memorandum. The Court also clarified the statutory basis for damages under R.C. 149.43.
