2 sentences

2007Id. at 434-436 (plaintiffs' claims present the classic case for treatment as a class action because they are based on written documents that uniformly indicate the omission of standard disclosure warnings). {¶ 27} As the foregoing supreme court decisions indicate, allegations of misrepresentations used in standardized forms or routinized procedures may well be the basis for class treatment, notwithstanding the need for each class member to prove elements of inducement and reliance.

2006See, e.g., Hamilton, supra (undisputed that class members were charged interest rates other than those disclosed in mortgage loan agreements); Cope v. Metropolitan Life Insurance Co.

2025Accordingly, I will focus on the evidence related to the elements of the defense of another and, in particular, the second element regarding whether it was reasonable for Smith to believe Charae, Penn, Cordell, and Mr. Thomas were in imminent or immediate danger of death or great bodily harm. {¶ 59} With regards to the second element—whether it was reasonable for Smith to believe Charae, Penn, Cordell, and Mr. Thomas were in imminent or immediate danger of death or great bodily harm, the instructions addressed the second and third elements together and stated: 6 In Taylor-Hollingsworth, we tra

2005The Ohio Supreme Court has recognized the discretionary aspect of the plain error doctrine, warning courts to notice plain error "with the utmost caution, under exceptional circumstances and only to prevent a manifest miscarriage of justice."
