Syllabus

Sanctions reduce monetary obligation to judgment hearing R.C. 2705.02 res judicata R.C. 4711 standing and Civ.R. 25. Issues raised and addressed in prior appeals are barred by res judicata. A union has standing to file an injunction on behalf of its members where at least one member suffers immediate or threatened injury as a result of the contested action. Where the complaint named the defendant-appellant City's mayor and fire chief in their official capacities as defendants, the defendant-appellant City was not prejudiced by the fact that the city no longer employed the named mayor and fire chief. Under Civ.R. 25, the individuals currently holding those official positions were automatically substituted for the named defendants and could be called as witnesses on behalf of the City.
