This summary was generated to explain the ruling in plain English and is not legal advice.
The trial court erred in awarding appellee attorney fees for alleged frivolous conduct by appellant pursuant to R.C. 2323.51(A)(2)(a)(ii). The court sustains appellant's assignment of error that the trial court erred in finding appellant's claims of age discrimination were not warranted under existing law as it cannot find that "no reasonable lawyer would have brought the action in light of existing law." Judgment reversed.
