  1. Independent Taxicab Assn. of Columbus v. Abate

    2008 Ohio 4070 (Ohio Ct. App. 2008)

    Id., quoting Tosi, at 401. See, also, Justice v. Lutheran Social Serv. of Cent. Ohio (1992), 79 Ohio App.3d 439, 444 (stating that if the trial court determines no basis exists for the imposition of sanctions, it may deny the motion without a hearing, as R.C. 2323.51 does not require the trial court to conduct a hearing before denying a motion for an award of attorney fees, but necessitates a hearing only on those motions which demonstrate arguable merit); Sheridan v. Harbison (1995), 101 Ohio App.3d 206, appeal not allowed, 72 Ohio St.3d 1551 (concluding that R.C. 2323.51[B][2], by its express terms, does not mandate an evidentiary hearing whenever a motion for fees is made, but requires an evidentiary hearing as a necessary precondition to awarding fees). "[A] trial court's decision to deny a hearing on a motion for sanctions will not be reversed absent an abuse of discretion."

  2. Cooper v. Cooper

    No. 76899 (Ohio Ct. App. Aug. 31, 2000)   Cited 1 times

    While a constructive trust may arise when the property is acquired through fraud, duress, undue influence or mistake, or breach of fiduciary duty, it may also arise where the property holder has not committed any wrongdoing but is not equitably entitled to retain the property. See Cole; Ferguson v. Owens (1984), 9 Ohio St.3d 223, 226, 459 N.E.2d 1293, 1295; Union Savings and Loan Assoc. v. McDonough (1995), 101 Ohio App.3d 273, 276, 655 N.E.2d 426, 428, discretionary appeal not allowed (1995), 72 Ohio St.3d 1551. A constructive trust may also arise where a person, knowing that a testator in giving him a bequest intends that it be used for the benefit of a third party, promises to carry out the testator's intention and then fails to do so.
