Title [23] XXIII COURTS - COMMON PLEAS
Chapter 2323: JUDGMENT
2323.31 Cash deposits as security.

2323.31 Cash deposits as security.

The court of common pleas by rule may require an advance deposit for the filing of any civil action or proceeding. On motion of the defendant, and if satisfied that such deposit is insufficient, the court may require it to be increased from time to time, so as to secure all costs that may accrue in the cause, or may require personal security to be given; but if a plaintiff makes an affidavit of inability either to prepay or give security for costs, the clerk of the court shall receive and file the petition. Such affidavit shall be filed with the petition, and treated as are similar papers in such cases.

Effective Date: 10-01-1953
