Citations
- 204 N.E.3d 1250
- 2022 Ohio 4744
Syllabus
Abuse-of-process church subject-matter jurisdiction ecclesiastical abstention doctrine secular hierarchical congregational church discipline church procedures dismiss suspension. The trial court erred in denying the defendants' motion to dismiss for lack of subject-matter jurisdiction. The trial court lacked subject-matter jurisdiction pursuant to the ecclesiastical abstention doctrine because the resolution of the plaintiff's abuse-of-process claim is inextricably entangled with ecclesiastical concerns.
