release bar in Ohio

2025Reading the release in the deed as meaning the grantor or its successors are immune from liability for any of their future conduct toward the property or as meaning that the grantees waived the right to have a court interpret what was transferred by the same deed would be a “manifest absurdity.” See Shifrin, 64 Ohio St.3d at 638 . {¶45} In fact and alternatively, Appellants’ construction of the release would make much, if not all, of the deed essentially meaningless.

2013“Additionally, while the execution of a release may bar claims of negligence, it cannot bar claims of willful and wanton conduct.” Id. (citations omitted). {¶29} “Nonetheless, courts routinely apply such releases to bar future tort liability as long as the intent of the parties, with regard to exactly what kind of liability and what persons [or] entities are being released, is stated in clear and unambiguous terms.” Id. at ¶ 51, citing Hague v. Summit Acres Skilled Nursing & Rehab., 7th Dist.

2000According to appellant, he has stated a viable claim against appellees under Greeley v. Miami Valley Maintenance Contrs., Inc. (1990), 49 Ohio St.3d 228 , and its progeny because the alleged disclosures violated Ohio public policy as set forth in R.C. 2151.421 (H), 5153.17, Ohio Adm. Code 5101:2-34-38 , and R.C. 149.43 (A)(2). 1 As noted above, the trial court never addressed this issue in its decision below, having dismissed appellant's claims under the release and waiver provision of the Separation Agreement.

1988The United States Supreme Court recently stated that “[a] fundamental canon of statutory construction is that, unless otherwise defined, words will be interpreted as taking their ordinary, contemporary, common meaning.” Perrin v. United States (1979), 444 U.S. 37, 42 . 4 The ordinary, contemporary and common definition of the word “release” is “the relinquishment, concession, or giving up of a right, claim, or privilege * * Black’s Law Dictionary (5 Ed. 1979) 1159. 5 Accordingly, the federal tax code indicates a custodial parent is entitled to an exemption for a child in all cases unless he or
