OAJ SIDEBAR
NOVEMBER 2019 Proportionality-in-discovery civil rule amendment Yesterday was the deadline to submit comments to the Supreme Court on the proposed amendment to Civ R 26 that would adopt proportionality-in-discovery similar to federal rules. OAJ sent comments urging the Court not to advance the proposal as did many OAJ members. Now the Court must decide, after reviewing comments, whether to adopt the proportionality amendment. OAJ hopes the comments submitted by OAJ and its members will cause the Court to rethink the amendment. Click here to download OAJ’s comment letter Long-arm statute OAJ-supported legislation extending Ohio’s long-arm personal jurisdiction statute has cleared a House committee and awaits a House vote. The bill would ensure outsiders who harm Ohio families or businesses will be held accountable in Ohio courts. Once approved by the House, the bill will proceed to the Senate for hearings. Click here to link to HB 272 Campground immunity OAJ is working to tighten the civil immunity proposed for campgrounds in legislation pending in the House Civil Justice Committee. The bill is very similar to a 2015 law providing qualified immunity for agritourism activities, a bill that OAJ significantly amended. Click here to link to HB 355

Long-arm statute
OAJ-supported legislation extending Ohio’s long-arm personal jurisdiction statute has cleared a House committee and awaits a House vote. The bill would ensure outsiders who harm Ohio families or businesses will be held accountable in Ohio courts. Once approved by the House, the bill will proceed to the Senate for hearings.
