Syllabus

Individual plaintiff had standing to pursue a statutory taxpayer action for injunctive relief under R.C. 733.59. However, plaintiff organizations failed to establish associational standing under R.C. 733.59, standing under R.C. 9.68, or public-right standing to pursue a statutory taxpayer action for claim for injunctive relief. Plaintiffs failed to establish standing under Declaratory Judgment Act for claim for declarative relief. Trial court committed prejudicial error by consolidating preliminary injunction proceedings with a decision on the merits without notice and over objections, depriving the City a full and fair opportunity to present evidence. Judgment reversed.
