Syllabus

Core Terms: public record court of claims R.C. 2743.75 R.C. 149.43 R.C. 1707.12 ambiguous overly broad embedded. Overview: Requesters sought examination files and communications related to their clients. The special master found that the requests were ambiguous and overly broad, with the exception of a portion of a request seeking particular investigatory files. The special master found that the responsive files were prohibited from release in their entirety by R.C. 1707.12(B), precluding the need to analyze other claimed exceptions. Neither party filed objections. Outcome: The court found no error of law or other defect on the face of the special master's decision and adopted the report and recommendation as its own.
