The facts set forth in this opinion have been repeated verbatim from our earlier Decision and Judgment Entry in which we dismissed the appeal for the lack of a final appealable order. See Karr v. JLH of Athens, Inc. (Dec. 4, 2000), Athens App. No. 99CA57, unreported. The matter is once again before this court for review.
Additionally, when multiple claims are included in an action, Civ.R. 54(B) also factors into consideration. See In re Berman (1990), 69 Ohio App.3d 324, 328, 590 N.E.2d 809; see, also, Karr v. JLH of Athens, Inc. (Dec. 4, 2000), Athens App. No. 99CA57, 2000 WL 33226179; Gallucci v. Freshour (Jun. 22, 2000), Hocking App. No. 99CA22, 2000 WL 864977. Civ.R. 54(B) allows a trial court to enter final judgment as to one or more but fewer than all of the claims "only upon an express determination that there is no just reason for delay."
{¶ 16} Further, when multiple claims or multiple parties are indeed in an action, Civ.R. 54(B) also factors into consideration. See In re Berman (1990), 69 Ohio App.3d 324, 328, 590 N.E.2d 809; also see Karr v. JLH of Athens, Inc. (Dec. 4, 2000), Athens App. No. 99CA57; Gallucci v. Freshour (Jun. 22, 2000), Hocking App. No. 99CA22; Byers v. Coppel (Nov. 29, 1999), Ross App. No. 99CA2488. Civ.R. 54(B) states that a trial court may enter final judgment as to "one or more but fewer than all of the claims . . . only upon an express determination that there is no just reason for delay."
{¶ 17} Further, whenever multiple claims and/or multiple parties appear in an action, the provisions of Civ.R. 54(B) also must be considered. See In re Berman (1990), 69 Ohio App.3d 324, 328, 590 N.E.2d 809; also see Karr v. JLH of Athens, Inc. (Dec. 4, 2000), Athens App. No. 99CA57; Gallucci v. Freshour (Jun. 22, 2000), Hocking App. No. 99CA22; Byers v. Coppel (Nov. 29, 1999), Ross App. No. 99CA2488. Civ.R. 54(B) states that a trial court may enter final judgment as to "one or more but fewer than all of the claims . . . only upon an express determination that there is no just reason for delay."
