Ohio Code § 4112.06

§ 4112.06.

(A) Any complainant, or respondent claiming to be aggrieved by a final order of the commission,

including a refusal to issue a complaint, may obtain judicial review thereof, and

the commission may obtain an order of court for the enforcement of its final orders,

in a proceeding as provided in this section.  Such proceeding shall be brought in the common pleas court of the state within any

county wherein the unlawful discriminatory practice which is the subject of the commission's

order was committed or wherein any respondent required in the order to cease and desist

from an unlawful discriminatory practice or to take affirmative action resides or

transacts business. (B) Such proceedings shall be initiated by the filing of a petition in court as provided

in division (A) of this section and the service of a copy of the said petition upon

the commission and upon all parties who appeared before the commission.  Thereupon the commission shall file with the court a transcript of the record upon

the hearing before it.  The transcript shall include all proceedings in the case, including all evidence

and proffers of evidence.  The court shall thereupon have jurisdiction of the proceeding and of the questions

determined therein, and shall have power to grant such temporary relief, restraining

order, or other order as it deems just and proper and to make and enter, upon the

record and such additional evidence as the court has admitted, an order enforcing,

modifying and enforcing as so modified, or setting aside in whole or in part, the

order of the commission or remanding for further proceedings. (C) An objection that has not been urged before the commission shall not be considered

by the court, unless the failure or neglect to urge such objection is excused because

of extraordinary circumstances. (D) The court may grant a request for the admission of additional evidence when satisfied

that such additional evidence is newly discovered and could not with reasonable diligence

have been ascertained prior to the hearing before the commission. (E) The findings of the commission as to the facts shall be conclusive if supported by

reliable, probative, and substantial evidence on the record and such additional evidence

as the court has admitted considered as a whole. (F) The jurisdiction of the court shall be exclusive and its judgment and order shall

be final subject to appellate review.  Violation of the court's order shall be punishable as contempt. (G) The commission's copy of the testimony shall be available at all reasonable times

to all parties without cost for examination and for the purposes of judicial review

of the order of the commission.  The petition shall be heard on the transcript of the record without requirement

of printing. (H) If no proceeding to obtain judicial review is instituted by a complainant, or respondent

within thirty days from the service of order of the commission pursuant to this section,

the commission may obtain a decree of the court for the enforcement of such order

upon showing that respondent is subject to the commission's jurisdiction and resides

or transacts business within the county in which the petition for enforcement is brought. (I) All suits brought under this section shall be heard and determined as expeditiously

as possible.
