• 2022 Ohio 4133

Syllabus

Appellants, employees of Miami University, lacked standing under common-law principles and the Declaratory Judgment Act to bring their claims for (1) violation of the constitutional right to refuse medical treatment under Article I, Section I of the Ohio Constitution, (2) coercion under R.C. 2905.12, (3) violation of statutory authority under R.C. 3709.212, and (4) violation of 3972.04(B)(1) as they failed to demonstrate injury or that a real justiciable controversy existed between the parties. However, as appellants' amended complaint sufficiently alleged facts establishing standing to bring a discrimination claim under R.C. 3792.04(B)(2) pursuant to common-law standing principles, we reverse the trial court's dismissal of this claim and remand for further proceedings.
