State ex rel. Magsig v. City of Toledo
Annotate this Case
The Supreme Court granted a writ of prohibition to prevent the City of Toledo from conducting an administrative hearing to adjudicate Susan Magsig's liability for violating a municipal traffic ordinance, holding that Toledo had no jurisdiction to conduct its own quasi-judicial proceedings.
Toledo's automated system generated a notice of liability for a speeding offense that Magsig allegedly committed. Magsig brought an action for a writ of prohibition to prevent Toledo from conducting the administrative hearing on the grounds that Ohio Rev. Code 1901.20(A)(1), as amended by 2019 Am.Sub.H.B. No. 62, vested exclusive jurisdiction in the municipal courts to adjudicate alleged noncriminal traffic-law violations. The Supreme Court granted the writ, holding that section 1901.20(A)(1) expressly vests exclusive jurisdiction over noncriminal traffic-law adjudications in the municipal courts.
