The attorney shall submit on an application form an itemized fee bill at the rate of sixty dollars per hour upon receipt of the final decision on the claim. Attorney's fees paid pursuant to this section are subject to the following maximum amounts: (1) A maximum of seven hundred twenty dollars for claims resolved without the filing of an appeal to the court of claims; (2) A maximum of one thousand twenty dollars for claims in which an appeal to the court of claims is filed plus, at the request of an attorney whose main office is not in Franklin county, Delaware county, Licking county, Fairfield county, Pickaway county, Madison county, or Union county, an amount for the attorney's travel time to attend the oral hearing before the court of claims at the rate of thirty dollars per hour; (3) A maximum of one thousand three hundred twenty dollars for claims in which an appeal to the court of claims is filed plus, at the request of an attorney whose main office is not in Franklin county, Delaware county, Licking county, Fairfield county, Pickaway county, Madison county, or Union county, an amount for the attorney's travel time to attend the oral hearing before the court at the rate of thirty dollars per hour; (4) A maximum of seven hundred twenty dollars for a supplemental reparations application. (B) The attorney general may determine that an attorney be reimbursed for fees incurred in the creation of a guardianship if the guardianship is required in order for an individual to receive an award of reparations, and those fees shall be reimbursed at a rate of sixty dollars per hour. (C)(1) The attorney general shall forward an application form for attorney's fees to a claimant's attorney before or when the final decision on a claim is rendered. The application form for attorney's fees shall do all of the following: (a) Inform the attorney of the requirements of this section; (b) Require a verification statement comporting with the law prohibiting falsification; (c) Require an itemized fee statement; (d) Require a verification statement that the claimant was served a copy of the completed application form; (e) Include notice that the claimant may oppose the application by notifying the attorney general in writing within ten days. (2) The attorney general shall forward a copy of this section to the attorney with the application form for attorney's fees. The attorney shall file the application form with the attorney general. The attorney general's decision with respect to an award of attorney's fees is final ten days after the attorney general renders the decision and mails a copy of the decision to the attorney at the address provided by the attorney. The attorney may request reconsideration of the decision on grounds that it is insufficient or calculated incorrectly. The attorney general's decision on the request for reconsideration is final. (D) The attorney general shall review all application forms for attorney's fees that are submitted by a claimant's attorney and shall issue an order approving the amount of fees to be paid to the attorney within sixty days after receipt of the application form. (E) No attorney's fees shall be paid for the following: (1) Estate work or representation of a claimant against a collateral source; (2) Duplication of investigative work required to be performed by the attorney general; (3) Performance of unnecessary criminal investigation of the offense; (4) Presenting or appealing an issue that has been repeatedly ruled upon by the highest appellate authority, unless a unique set of facts or unique issue of law exists that distinguishes it; (5) Representing a victim of the type described in division (L)(2) or (3) of section 2743.51 of the Revised Code; (6) A fee request that is unreasonable, is not commensurate with services rendered, violates the Ohio code of professional responsibility, or is based upon services that are determined to be frivolous. (F)(1) The attorney general may reduce or deny the payment of attorney's fees to an attorney who has filed a frivolous claim. The denial of a claim on the basis of contributory misconduct does not constitute a frivolous claim. (2) As used in this section, "frivolous claim" means a claim in which there is clearly no legal grounds under the existing laws of this state to support the filing of a claim on behalf of the claimant or victim. (G) The attorney general may determine that a lesser number of hours should have been required in a given case. Additional reimbursement may be made where the attorney demonstrates to the attorney general that the nature of the particular claim required the expenditure of an amount in excess of that allowed. (H) No attorney shall receive payment under this section for assisting a claimant with an application for an award of reparations under sections 2743.51 to 2743.72 of the Revised Code if that attorney's fees have been allowed as an expense in accordance with division (F)(5) of section 2743.51 of the Revised Code. (I) A contract or other agreement between an attorney and any person that provides for the payment of attorney's fees or other payments in excess of the attorney's fees allowed under this section for representing a claimant under sections 2743.51 to 2743.72 of the Revised Code shall be void and unenforceable. (J) Each witness who appears in a hearing on a claim for an award of reparations shall receive compensation in an amount equal to that received by witnesses under section 119.094 of the Revised Code.

(c) Regardless of whether a claim for declaratory relief is granted under this chapter, a court of record awards attorney's fees to a fiduciary, beneficiary, or other interested party, the attorney's fees are to be paid out of trust property, estate property, or other property that is the subject of a fiduciary relationship and that is involved in that claim or proceeding for declaratory relief, and the attorney's fees are awarded in accordance with equitable principles that permit recovery of attorney's fees incurred for services that are beneficial to the trust or estate.

The declaration may be either affirmative or negative in form and effect. The declaration has the effect of a final judgment or decree. (B) A plaintiff who is not an insured under a particular policy of liability insurance may not commence against the insurer that issued the policy an action or proceeding under this chapter that seeks a declaratory judgment or decree as to whether the policy's coverage provisions extend to an injury, death, or loss to person or property that a particular insured under the policy allegedly tortiously caused the plaintiff to sustain or caused another person for whom the plaintiff is a legal representative to sustain, until a court of record enters in a distinct civil action for damages between the plaintiff and that insured as a tortfeasor a final judgment awarding the plaintiff damages for the injury, death, or loss to person or property involved. (C) In an action or proceeding for declaratory relief that a judgment creditor commences in accordance with divisions (A) and (B) of this section against an insurer that issued a particular policy of liability insurance, the insurer has and may assert as an affirmative defense against the judgment creditor any coverage defenses that the insurer possesses and could assert against the holder of the policy in an action or proceeding under this chapter between the holder and the insurer.

This division shall apply notwithstanding any contrary common law principles of res judicata or adjunct principles of collateral estoppel.

A higher priority order of that nature may include, but is not limited to, a support order and an internal revenue service levy. (f) A municipal or county court or a court of common pleas issues to the garnishee another order of garnishment of personal earnings that relates to the same judgment debtor and a different judgment creditor and that is not described in division (C)(1)(e) of this section. (2) If the circumstances described in division (C)(1)(e) or (f) of this section apply to a continuous order of garnishment of personal earnings, division (D) of this section also applies to the garnishee and that order. (3) As long as a continuous order of garnishment of personal earnings with respect to a particular judgment debtor and a particular judgment creditor remains in effect or, if the circumstances described in division (C)(1)(e) or (f) of this section apply to an order of that nature, as long as division (D) of this section applies to the garnishee and an order of that nature, the particular judgment creditor may not file in any municipal or county court or any court of common pleas another affidavit as described in section 2716.03 of the Revised Code that pertains to the particular judgment debtor and the same judgment that underlies the order. (4)(a) Subject to divisions (C)(1) and (D) of this section and section 2716.05 of the Revised Code, a garnishee to whom a municipal or county court or court of common pleas issues a continuous order of garnishment of personal earnings shall pay to the court within thirty days after each pay period of the judgment debtor ends the amount, calculated each pay period at the statutory percentage, that the order specifies to be withheld from the judgment debtor's personal disposable earnings during each pay period of the judgment debtor commencing with the first full pay period beginning after the garnishee receives the order. The payment to the court of that amount calculated each pay period at the statutory percentage shall be accompanied by the garnishee's interim report and answer that shall be substantially in the form set forth in section 2716.07 of the Revised Code and shall specifically state all of the following: (i) The date that the garnishee received the continuous order of garnishment of personal earnings; (ii) The total probable amount due on the judgment, as described in division (B) of this section; (iii) The amount of the judgment debtor's personal disposable earnings that has been withheld for the particular pay period and that is being submitted with the interim report and answer. (b) A garnishee shall prepare each interim report and answer in triplicate, shall submit one complete and signed copy of that document to the court in accordance with division (C)(4)(a) of this section, shall retain one complete and signed copy of that document for the garnishee's records, and shall deliver one complete and signed copy of that document to the judgment debtor. (c) A garnishee to whom a municipal or county court or court of common pleas issues a continuous order of garnishment of personal earnings may electronically perform both of the following: (i) Pay to the court the amount calculated each pay period at the statutory percentage of the judgment debtor's personal disposable earnings that the order specifies to be withheld from the judgment debtor's personal disposable earnings by electronic transfer of funds if the court permits payment to be made electronically; (ii) File the garnishee's interim report and answer or the garnishee's final report and answer by electronic image transmission if the clerk of the court permits the filing of documents electronically. (d) A garnishee to whom a municipal or county court or court of common pleas issues a continuous order of garnishment of personal earnings shall file with the court the garnishee's interim report and answer for each pay period of the judgment debtor for which an amount from the judgment debtor's personal disposable earnings during that pay period was withheld for that order. The garnishee is not required to file an interim report and answer for any pay period for which no amount from the judgment debtor's personal disposable earnings during that pay period was withheld for that order. (e) A garnishee to whom a municipal or county court or court of common pleas issues a continuous order of garnishment of personal earnings may deduct a processing fee of up to three dollars from the amount withheld from the judgment debtor's personal disposable earnings for each pay period of the judgment debtor that an amount from the judgment debtor's personal disposable earnings was withheld for that order. A garnishee shall not deduct the processing fee for any pay period in which no amount from the judgment debtor's personal disposable earnings during that pay period was withheld for that order and no garnishee's interim report and answer is filed. The garnishee's processing fee shall not be charged as court costs. (5)(a) Subject to division (D) of this section, if a continuous order of garnishment of personal earnings ceases to remain in effect because of the operation of division (C)(1) of this section, the garnishee shall file with the municipal or county court or the court of common pleas that issued the order the garnishee's final report and answer. The final report and answer shall be substantially in the form set forth in section 2716.08 of the Revised Code and shall specifically state all of the following: (i) The date that the garnishee received the continuous order of garnishment of personal earnings; (ii) The total probable amount due on the judgment, as described in division (B) of this section; (iii) The total amount of the judgment debtor's personal disposable earnings that the garnishee has withheld and paid to the court while the order remained in effect; (iv) The reason listed in division (C)(1) of this section that precludes the continuation of the withholding of the specified amount of the judgment debtor's personal disposable earnings in accordance with the order. This reason shall be stated only if the total probable amount due on the judgment, as described in division (B) of this section, is not the total amount of the judgment debtor's personal disposable earnings that the garnishee withheld and paid to the court while the order remained in effect and if the reason that the order has ceased to remain in effect is described in division (C)(1)(c), (d), (e), or (f) of this section. (b) A garnishee shall prepare each final report and answer in triplicate, shall submit one complete and signed copy of that document to the court in accordance with division (C)(5)(a) of this section, shall retain one complete and signed copy of that document for the garnishee's records, and shall deliver one complete and signed copy of that document to the judgment debtor. (D)(1) Except as provided in division (D)(2) of this section, if a garnishee receives an order of garnishment of personal earnings with respect to a particular judgment debtor and if, at the time of the receipt of that order, the garnishee is the subject of a previously received continuous order of garnishment of personal earnings with respect to the same judgment debtor, the previous order shall cease to remain in effect as described in division (C)(1)(f) of this section. However, for the time period up to and including the full pay period within which the one hundred eighty-second day from the date that the garnishee began processing the previous order falls, the garnishee shall withhold the specified amount from the judgment debtor's personal earnings in accordance with the previous order. During that time period, the previous order shall be deemed a higher priority order. Upon the expiration of that final full pay period, the garnishee shall comply with division (C)(5) of this section. (2) If a garnishee receives an order of garnishment of personal earnings with respect to a particular judgment debtor, if, at the time of the receipt of that order, the garnishee is the subject of a previously received continuous order of garnishment of personal earnings with respect to the same judgment debtor, and if the law of this state or of the United States provides that the subsequent order has a higher priority than the previous order, the previous order shall cease to remain in effect as described in division (C)(1)(e) of this section. However, for the time period up to and including the full pay period within which the one hundred eighty-second day from the date the garnishee began processing the previous order falls, the garnishee shall comply with division (D)(3)(c)(ii) of this section. Upon the expiration of that final full pay period, the garnishee shall comply with division (C)(5) of this section. (3)(a) Except as provided in division (D)(2) and (3)(b) and (c) of this section, if a garnishee receives an order of garnishment of personal earnings with respect to a particular judgment debtor and if, at the time of the receipt of that order, the garnishee is the subject of a previously received continuous order of garnishment of personal earnings with respect to the same judgment debtor, the garnishee shall do both of the following: (i) The garnishee shall process the subsequent order in the order in which the garnishee receives it, commencing with the first full pay period beginning after the subsequent order reaches highest priority, and only after all previously received orders of garnishment of personal earnings with respect to the same judgment debtor have been processed for a time period up to and including the full pay period within which the one-hundred-eighty-second day from the first processing date falls or have ceased to remain in effect for a reason listed in division (C)(1) of this section. (ii) When, pursuant to the procedure required by division (D)(3)(a)(i) of this section for the stacking of orders of garnishment of personal earnings with respect to the same judgment debtor, the subsequent order reaches highest priority, the garnishee, commencing with the first full pay period beginning after the subsequent order reaches highest priority, shall process the subsequent order until the subsequent order ceases to remain in effect for a reason listed in division (C)(1) of this section. (b) If a garnishee receives an order of garnishment of personal earnings with respect to a particular judgment debtor, if, at the time of the receipt of that order, the garnishee is the subject of a previously received continuous order of garnishment of personal earnings with respect to the same judgment debtor, and if the previous order has a higher priority under division (D)(1) or (3)(a) of this section, the garnishee shall do both of the following: (i) The garnishee shall withhold from the judgment debtor's personal earnings during each pay period the amount, calculated each pay period at the statutory percentage, of the judgment debtor's personal disposable earnings during each pay period specified in the previous order for the requisite time period up to and including the full pay period within which the one-hundred-eighty-second-processing day falls or until the previous order ceases to remain in effect for a reason listed in division (C)(1) of this section. (ii) If the maximum amount of the personal earnings of the judgment debtor that may be garnished during each pay period under the law of this state or of the United States is not exceeded after the application of division (D)(3)(b)(i) of this section, the garnishee shall withhold from the judgment debtor's personal disposable earnings during each pay period the amount, calculated each pay period at the statutory percentage, specified in one or more of the subsequent orders, in their order of priority, commencing with the first full pay period beginning after the subsequent order reaches priority, until the maximum amount, calculated each pay period at the statutory percentage, of the personal disposable earnings of the judgment debtor that may be garnished during each pay period under the law of this state or of the United States is reached and as long as the requisite time period up to and including the full pay period within which the one-hundred-eighty-second processing day falls has not expired with respect to a subsequent order and the subsequent order has not ceased to remain in effect for a reason listed in division (C)(1) of this section. (c) If a garnishee receives an order of garnishment of personal earnings with respect to a particular judgment debtor, if, at the time of the receipt of that order, the garnishee is the subject of a previously received continuous order of garnishment of personal earnings with respect to the same judgment debtor, and if the subsequent order has a higher priority under division (D)(2) of this section, the garnishee shall do both of the following: (i) The garnishee shall withhold from the judgment debtor's personal disposable earnings during each pay period the amount, calculated each pay period at the statutory percentage, specified in the subsequent order, commencing with the first full pay period beginning after the subsequent order reaches priority. (ii) If the maximum amount of the personal earnings of the judgment debtor that may be garnished during each pay period under the law of this state or of the United States is not exceeded after the application of division (D)(3)(c)(i) of this section, the garnishee shall withhold from the judgment debtor's personal disposable earnings during each pay period the amount, calculated each pay period at the statutory percentage, of the judgment debtor's personal disposable earnings during each pay period specified in one or more of the previous orders, in their order of priority, until the maximum amount of the personal earnings of the judgment debtor that may be garnished during each pay period under the law of this state or of the United States is reached and as long as the requisite time period up to and including the full pay period within which the one-hundred-eighty-second processing day falls has not expired with respect to a previous order and the previous order has not ceased to remain in effect for a reason listed in division (C)(1) of this section. (E) If a garnishee receives an order of garnishment of personal earnings with respect to a particular judgment debtor and if, at the time of the receipt of that order, the garnishee is the subject of one or more previously received continuous orders of garnishment of personal earnings with respect to the same judgment debtor, the garnishee shall include in its answer of employer filed pursuant to section 2716.05 of the Revised Code in relation to the subsequent order all of the following information: (1) The name of the court that issued the subsequent order and each previous order and the case number associated with each of those orders; (2) The date that the garnishee received the subsequent order and each previous order; (3) With respect to the subsequent order and each previous order, the balance due to the relevant judgment creditor at the time of the filing of the answer of employer. The garnishee shall calculate the balance due in relation to a particular order by subtracting the total amount of the judgment debtor's personal earnings that the garnishee previously has withheld and paid to the court pursuant to that order from the total probable amount due on the judgment underlying that order, as described in division (B) of this section.

§ 2716.02. Form for notice of court proceeding to collect debt
Status: in_force

September 30, 2008 Senate Bill 281 - 127th General Assembly (A) Any person seeking an order of garnishment of personal earnings, after obtaining a judgment, shall make the following demand in writing for the excess of the amount of the judgment over the amount of personal earnings that may be exempt from execution, garnishment, attachment, or sale to satisfy a judgment or order, or for so much of the excess as will satisfy the judgment. The demand shall be made after the judgment is obtained and at least fifteen days and not more than forty-five days before the order is sought by delivering it to the judgment debtor by personal service by the court, by sending it to the judgment debtor by certified mail, return receipt requested, or by sending it to the judgment debtor by regular mail evidenced by a properly completed and stamped certificate of mailing by regular mail, addressed to the judgment debtor's last known place of residence. The demand shall be in substantially the following form: "NOTICE OF COURT PROCEEDING TO COLLECT DEBT Date of mailing or date of service by the court ______________ To: ______________________________ (Name of Judgment Debtor) __________________________________ (Last Known Residence Address of Judgment Debtor) You owe the undersigned _______________________ (Name of Judgment Creditor) $__________, including interest and court costs, for which a judgment was obtained against you or certified in the __________ court on __________, payment of which is hereby demanded. If you do not do one of the three things listed below within fifteen days of the date of the mailing of this notice or of its service by the court, we will go to court, unless we are otherwise precluded by law from doing so, and ask that your employer be ordered to withhold money from your earnings until the judgment is paid in full or, if applicable, is paid to a certain extent and to pay the withheld money to the court in satisfaction of your debt. This is called garnishment of personal earnings. It is to your advantage to avoid garnishment of personal earnings because the placing of the extra burden on your employer possibly could cause you to lose your job. YOU CAN AVOID THE GARNISHMENT BY DOING ONE OF THESE THREE THINGS WITHIN THE FIFTEEN-DAY PERIOD: (1) Pay to us the amount due; (2) Complete the attached form entitled "Payment to Avoid Garnishment" and return it to us with the payment, if any, shown due on it; or (3) Apply to your local municipal or county court or, if you are not a resident of Ohio, to the municipal or county court in whose jurisdiction your place of employment is located, for the appointment of a trustee to receive the part of your earnings that is not exempt from garnishment, and notify us that you have applied for the appointment of a trustee. You will be required to list your creditors, the amounts of their claims, and the amounts due on their claims, and the amount you then will pay to your trustee each payday will be divided among them until the debts are paid off. This can be to your advantage because in the meantime none of those creditors can garnish your wages. You also may contact a budget and debt counseling service described in division (D) of section 2716.03 of the Revised Code for the purpose of entering into an agreement for debt scheduling. There may not be enough time to set up an agreement for debt scheduling in order to avoid a garnishment of your wages based upon this demand for payment, but entering into an agreement for debt scheduling might protect you from future garnishments of your wages. Under an agreement for debt scheduling, you will have to regularly pay a portion of your income to the service until the debts subject to the agreement are paid off. This portion of your income will be paid by the service to your creditors who are owed debts subject to the agreement. This can be to your advantage because these creditors cannot garnish your wages while you make your payments to the service on time. ______________________________ (Name of Judgment Creditor) ______________________________ (Signature of Judgment Creditor - or Judgment Creditor's Attorney) ________________________________ ________________________________ ________________________________ (Address of Judgment Creditor) PAYMENT TO AVOID GARNISHMENT To: ______________________________ (Name of Judgment Creditor) __________________________________ __________________________________ (Address of Judgment Creditor) To avoid the garnishment of personal earnings of which you have given me notice, I enclose $ _______________ to apply toward my indebtedness to you. The amount of the payment was computed as follows: 1. Total amount of indebtedness demanded: (1) $__________ 2. Enter the amount of your personal earnings, after deductions required by law, earned by you during the current pay period (that is, the pay period in which this demand is received by you): (2) $___________ 3. (A) Enter your pay period (weekly, biweekly, semimonthly, monthly): (3)(A) __________ (B) Enter the date when your present pay period ends: (3)(B) __________ 4. Enter an amount equal to 25% of the amount on line (2): (4) ______________ 5. (A) The current federal minimum hourly wage is __________ (to be filled in by Judgment Creditor) (You should use the above figure to complete this portion of the form.) If you are paid weekly, enter thirty times the current federal minimum hourly wage; if paid biweekly, enter sixty times the current federal minimum hourly wage; if paid semimonthly, enter sixty-five times the current federal minimum hourly wage; if paid monthly, enter one hundred thirty times the current federal minimum hourly wage: (5)(A) ________ - (B) Enter the amount by which the amount on line (2) exceeds the amount on line 5(A): (5)(B)__________ - 6. Enter the smallest of the amounts on line (1), (4), or 5(B). Send this amount to the judgment creditor along with this form after you have signed it: (6) $___________ - I certify that the statements contained above are true to the best of my knowledge and belief. ___________________________________ - (Signature of Judgment Debtor) ___________________________________ ___________________________________ ___________________________________ - (Print Name and Residence Address of - Judgment Debtor) (To verify that the amount shown on line (2) is a true statement of your earnings, you must either have your employer certify below that the amount shown on line (2) is a true statement of your earnings or you may submit copies of your pay stubs for the two pay periods immediately prior to your receiving this notice.) I certify that the amount shown on line (2) is a true statement of the judgment debtor's earnings. ___________________________________ - (Print Name of Employer) ___________________________________ - (Signature of Employer or Agent) I certify that I have attached copies of my pay stubs for the two pay periods immediately prior to my receiving this notice. ___________________________________ - (Signature of Judgment Debtor)" (B) If a judgment debtor properly completes a payment to avoid garnishment and returns it with the required funds to the judgment creditor or the judgment creditor's attorney, the judgment creditor or the judgment creditor's attorney who issued the notice of court proceeding to collect debt may not issue another notice of court proceeding to collect debt to the judgment debtor until the expiration date of the judgment debtor's present pay period that is set forth by the judgment debtor and the judgment debtor's employer in the answer to (3)(B) in the payment to avoid garnishment. (C) If an order of garnishment of personal earnings issued pursuant to this chapter has not been paid in full when it ceases to remain in effect because of the operation of division (C)(1) of section 2716.041 of the Revised Code, the garnishee's duties under the order of garnishment are complete with the filing of the final report and answer of the garnishee. The judgment creditor must institute new garnishment proceedings if the judgment creditor wants an additional garnishment.

(b) The parties may attach supporting affidavits to their respective pleadings. (c) The special master may require either or both of the parties to submit additional information or documentation supported by affidavits. (F)(1) Not later than seven business days after receiving the response, or motion to dismiss the complaint, if applicable, of the public office or person responsible for public records, the special master shall submit to the court of claims a report and recommendation based on the ordinary application of statutory law and case law as they existed at the time of the filing of the complaint. For good cause shown, the special master may extend the seven-day period for the submission of the report and recommendation to the court of claims under this division by an additional seven business days. (2) Upon submission of the special master's report and recommendation to the court of claims under division (F)(1) of this section, the clerk shall send copies of the report and recommendation to each party by certified mail, return receipt requested, not later than three business days after the report and recommendation is filed. Either party may object to the report and recommendation within seven business days after receiving the report and recommendation by filing a written objection with the clerk and sending a copy to the other party by certified mail, return receipt requested. Any objection to the report and recommendation shall be specific and state with particularity all grounds for the objection. If neither party timely objects, the court of claims shall promptly issue a final order adopting the report and recommendation, unless it determines that there is an error of law or other defect evident on the face of the report and recommendation. If either party timely objects, the other party may file with the clerk a response within seven business days after receiving the objection and send a copy of the response to the objecting party by certified mail, return receipt requested. The court, within seven business days after the response to the objection is filed, shall issue a final order that adopts, modifies, or rejects the report and recommendation. (3) If the court of claims determines that the public office or person responsible for the public records denied the aggrieved person access to the public records in violation of division (B) of section 149.43 of the Revised Code and if no appeal from the court's final order is taken under division (G) of this section, both of the following apply: (a) The public office or the person responsible for the public records shall permit the aggrieved person to inspect or receive copies of the public records that the court requires to be disclosed in its order. (b) The aggrieved person shall be entitled to recover from the public office or person responsible for the public records the amount of the filing fee of twenty-five dollars and any other costs associated with the action that are incurred by the aggrieved person, but shall not be entitled to recover attorney's fees, except that division (G)(2) of this section applies if an appeal is taken under division (G)(1) of this section. (G)(1) Any appeal from a final order of the court of claims under this section or from an order of the court of claims dismissing the complaint as provided in division (D)(2) of this section shall be taken to the court of appeals of the appellate district where the principal place of business of the public office from which the public record is requested is located. However, no appeal may be taken from a final order of the court of claims that adopts the special master's report and recommendation unless a timely objection to that report and recommendation was filed under division (F)(2) of this section. If the court of claims materially modifies the special master's report and recommendation, either party may take an appeal to the court of appeals of the appellate district of the principal place of business where that public office is located but the appeal shall be limited to the issue in the report and recommendation that is materially modified by the court of claims. In order to facilitate the expeditious resolution of disputes over alleged denials of access to public records in violation of division (B) of section 149.43 of the Revised Code, the appeal shall be given such precedence over other pending matters as will ensure that the court will reach a decision promptly. (2) If a court of appeals in any appeal taken under division (G)(1) of this section by the public office or person responsible for the public records determines that the public office or person denied the aggrieved person access to the public records in violation of division (B) of section 149.43 of the Revised Code and obviously filed the appeal with the intent to either delay compliance with the court of claims' order from which the appeal is taken for no reasonable cause or unduly harass the aggrieved person, the court of appeals may award reasonable attorney's fees to the aggrieved person in accordance with division (C) of section 149.43 of the Revised Code. No discovery may be conducted on the issue of the public office or person responsible for the public records filing the appeal with the alleged intent to either delay compliance with the court of claims' order for no reasonable cause or unduly harass the aggrieved person. This division shall not be construed as creating a presumption that the public office or the person responsible for the public records filed the appeal with the intent to either delay compliance with the court of claims' order for no reasonable cause or unduly harass the aggrieved person. (H) The powers of the court of claims prescribed in section 2743.05 of the Revised Code apply to the proceedings in that court under this section. (I)(1) All filing fees collected by a clerk of the court of common pleas under division (D)(1) of this section shall be paid to the county treasurer for deposit into the county general revenue fund. All such money collected during a month shall be transmitted on or before the twentieth day of the following month by the clerk of the court of common pleas to the county treasurer. (2) All filing fees collected by the clerk of the court of claims under division (D)(1) of this section shall be deposited into the state treasury to the credit of the public records fund, which is hereby created. Money credited to the fund shall be used by the court of claims to assist in paying for its costs to implement this section. All investment earnings of the fund shall be credited to the fund. Not later than the first day of February of each year, the clerk of the court of claims shall prepare a report accessible to the public that details the fees collected during the preceding calendar year by the clerk of the court of claims and the clerks of the courts of common pleas under this section. (J) Nothing in this section shall be construed to limit the authority of the auditor of state under division (G) of section 109.43 of the Revised Code.

In Title IV-D cases, the contempt action for failure to pay support also may be initiated by an attorney retained by the party who has the legal claim, the prosecuting attorney, or an attorney of the department of job and family services or the child support enforcement agency. (2) Any parent who is granted parenting time rights under a parenting time order or decree issued pursuant to section 3109.051 or 3109.12 of the Revised Code, any person who is granted visitation rights under a visitation order or decree issued pursuant to section 3109.051 , 3109.11 , or 3109.12 of the Revised Code or pursuant to any other provision of the Revised Code, or any other person who is subject to any parenting time or visitation order or decree, may initiate a contempt action for a failure to comply with, or an interference with, the order or decree. (C) In any contempt action initiated pursuant to division (B) of this section, the accused shall appear upon the summons and order to appear that is issued by the court. The summons shall include all of the following: (1) Notice that failure to appear may result in the issuance of an order of arrest, and in cases involving alleged failure to pay support, the issuance of an order for the payment of support by withholding an amount from the personal earnings of the accused or by withholding or deducting an amount from some other asset of the accused; (2) Notice that the accused has a right to counsel, and that if indigent, the accused must apply for a public defender or court appointed counsel within three business days after receipt of the summons; (3) Notice that the court may refuse to grant a continuance at the time of the hearing for the purpose of the accused obtaining counsel, if the accused fails to make a good faith effort to retain counsel or to obtain a public defender; (4) Notice of the potential penalties that could be imposed upon the accused, if the accused is found guilty of contempt for failure to pay support or for a failure to comply with, or an interference with, a parenting time or visitation order or decree; (5) Notice that the court may grant limited driving privileges under section 4510.021 of the Revised Code pursuant to a request made by the accused, if the driver's license was suspended based on a notice issued pursuant to section 3123.54 of the Revised Code by the child support enforcement agency and if the request is accompanied by a recent noncertified copy of a driver's abstract from the registrar of motor vehicles. (D) If the accused is served as required by the Rules of Civil Procedure or by any special statutory proceedings that are relevant to the case, the court may order the attachment of the person of the accused upon failure to appear as ordered by the court.
