State ex rel. Hunt v. City of East Cleveland
Annotate this Case
The Supreme Court granted a writ of mandamus ordering the City of East Cleveland to satisfy a civil judgment against it won by Marilyn Conard and Charles Hunt, plus pre- and post-judgment interest, or to take steps set forth in Ohio Rev. Code 1744.06(A) for appropriating the funds necessary to satisfy the judgment, holding that mandamus relief was warranted.
Conard and Hunt sued the City for injuries they received after a police vehicle collided with their vehicle. A jury returned a verdict in favor of Hunt and Conard and entered a separate order awarding prejudgment interest. Hunt and the administrator of the estate of Conard later commenced this action seeking a writ of mandamus ordering the City to satisfy the judgment. The Supreme Court granted the writ, holding that section 2744.06(A) imposed a clear legal duty on the City to satisfy the judgment rendered in favor of Hunt and Conard.
