Ohio Supreme Court rule amendments

By Chuck Kallendorf

Comments to the set of proposed amendments to the Ohio Rules of Appellate, Criminal, and Civil Procedures issued last October, have been reviewed and evaluated by the Supreme Court Commission on Rules of Practice & Procedure. The Commission, back on Jan. 16th., has now recommended further revisions to those previously published and resubmitted for public comment. ( Here)

?Modifications were made to the proposed amendments following the initial comment period, including withdrawing proposed amendments to Civ.R. 33(A)(3) and 36(A) which would?ve established ?service of both a printed and electronic copy? as the triggering event for calculating response time for interrogatories and requests for admissions.

?The Court can revise & file the amendments with the General Assembly prior to May 1, 2008, with the amendments then taking effect on July 1, 2008 unless the General Assembly adopts a concurrent resolution of disapproval to them.

Comments on this second set will be accepted until March 4, 2008
