Syllabus

CIVIL SERVICE – R.C. 2506.01 – JURISDICTION – MOOTNESS: The trial court had subject-matter jurisdiction over plaintiffs' administrative appeals because plaintiffs were entitled to quasi-judicial hearings before the Civil Service Commission where they had alleged violations of the anonymity rule in the grading of their promotional examinations. The administrative appeals were not moot, even though the trial court did not reach its decision until after the promotion list challenged by plaintiffs had expired, because the court found that plaintiffs' rights to their promotions had accrued while the promotion list was viable.
