Syllabus

Core Terms: public record court of claims R.C. 2743.75 R.C. 149.43 R.C. 149.43(E)(1) proof moot reasonable period of time. Overview: Requester sought various institution schedules and reports, and received no response from the institution. Requester made a new request in the complaint for certification of the institution's compliance public records training pursuant to R.C. 149.43(E)(1). Respondent disclosed all requested records during litigation, and alleged that requester had not shown that he actually mailed the request to the institution. The special master found that the request for training certification was unenforceable because it was not made prior to filing the complaint. The special master further found that the claim for production had been rendered moot by full disclosure, but that the response had not been made within a reasonable period of time.
