Ohio Code § 519.26. Reproduced from the official Ohio Revised Code, with a citation summary, verification link, and related provisions.
§ 519.26.
A final judgment on the merits issued by a court of competent jurisdiction pursuant
to its power of review under Chapter 2506. of the Revised Code, on claims brought
under this chapter, does not preclude later claims for damages, including claims brought
under 42 U.S.C. 1983 , even if the common law doctrine of res judicata would otherwise bar the claim. The general assembly intends that this section be construed to override the federal
sixth circuit court of appeals's 1 decision in the case Lavon Moore v. Hiram Twp., 988 F.3d 353 (6th Cir. 2021) . 1
So in original.
