Syllabus

Torts—Summary judgment—When resolving a case on summary judgment, the trial court does not weigh the evidence in the case—When reviewing a grant of summary judgment, a court of appeals does not defer to the trial court's determinations but reviews the evidence de novo—R.C. Chapter 2744—When determining government employees' liability under R.C. 2744.03 on a motion for summary judgment, a court determines not whether the employees acted in a reckless or wanton manner but whether reasonable minds could find that they acted in such a manner when the facts presented are viewed in a light most favorable to the nonmoving party.
