Syllabus

CONTRACTS – CONSUMER SALES PRACTICES ACT: The trial court did not err in determining that defendant automobile dealer breached its agreement to repair plaintiff's vehicle: plaintiff testified that the repairs had not been made, and plaintiff returned the vehicle to defendant two separate times before ultimately taking the vehicle to another mechanic for repair. The trial court erred in determining that defendant automobile dealer violated the Ohio Consumer Sales Practices Act where defendant had not been put on notice of any claimed violations under the Act, and even though plaintiff filed her action in the small-claims division, plaintiff must still set forth the nature of her claim and a request for damages in accordance with Civ.R. 8(A).
