Ohio Traf. R. 15
Ohio. Traf. R. 15
Commentary ( October 1, 2006 Amendment)
The October 1, 2006 amendment repealed former Traf. R. 15. Division (A) of that rule authorized contempt proceedings before the Supreme Court against any judge, clerk, or other personnel who willfully failed to apply or adhere to the Ohio Traffic Rules. This provision is deemed unnecessary since a party may object to or raise on appeal a court's noncompliance with the Ohio Traffic Rules or application of local rules that are inconsistent with the Ohio Traffic Rules.
Division (B) of former Traf. R. 15 authorized the institution of criminal contempt proceedings against any person who improperly disposed of a traffic ticket. This provision is deemed unnecessary in light of the existence of statutes that would allow for the imposition of criminal penalties against a person who improperly disposes of a traffic ticket.
