Syllabus

Civ.R. 12(B)(1) subject-matter jurisdiction Court of Claims common pleas R.C. 2743.03(A) declaratory injunctive relief legal damages fees monetary damages legal relief. Affirmed decision of the common pleas court to grant the bureau of workers' compensation's motion to dismiss the action for lack of subject-matter jurisdiction. Although the complaint included claims for declaratory and injunctive relief and no matter how the claims were characterized, because plaintiff's class-action suit against the bureau sought legal damages for an alleged loss resulting from fees collected by the bank, the Court of Claims had exclusive jurisdiction over the action.
