Swagelok Co. v. Young

Civ.R. 12(B)(6); Civ.R. 8; dismissal; defamation; wrongful termination. Trial court erred when it dismissed appellant's complaint pursuant to Civ.R. 12(B)(6), where appellant was only required to set forth a short plain statement of claims, that sufficiently apprised the appellee of the nature of the claims.

Workers' compensation—Temporary-total-disability compensation—R.C. 4123.56—Employee who had already been terminated for violation of employment policies before his shoulder surgery was not "unable to work" as "direct result of an impairment arising from an injury or occupational disease" under plain language of R.C. 4123.56(F) and thus was not entitled to receive temporary-total-disability compensation—Court of appeals' judgment reversed and writ granted.

Quo warranto—Mandamus—Appellants failed to challenge court of appeals' judgment dismissing their quo warranto claim on basis of laches and therefore waived that argument—Court of appeals' determination that appellants could not establish entitlement to city-council offices or that appellees were unlawfully holding the positions affirmed—Court of appeals' denial of request for writ of mandamus ordering continued payment of salaries and benefits as moot affirmed.
