Motion for expedited relief - award of litigation expenses if motion granted or denied; time to appeal.

(A) If the court grants a motion for expedited relief under section 2747.04 of the Revised Code, the court shall award reasonable attorney's fees, court costs, and other reasonable litigation expenses to the moving party. The court shall not fail to award, or reduce an award of, attorney's fees, court costs, and other reasonable litigation expenses under this division on the grounds that the representation of the moving party was undertaken on a pro bono or contingent basis. (B) If the court denies a motion for expedited relief under section 2747.04 of the Revised Code, and finds that the motion was frivolous conduct as defined in section 2323.51 of the Revised Code, the court, after the disposition of any appeal affirming the court's ruling on the motion, shall award to the responding party reasonable attorney's fees, court costs, and other reasonable litigation expenses incurred in responding to the motion. (C) If the court denies a motion for expedited relief under section 2747.04 of the Revised Code, the denial is a final order under section 2505.02 of the Revised Code and the moving party has an interlocutory right of appeal under that section. The appeal must be filed within thirty days after entry of the order. Last updated February 20, 2025 at 4:36 PM
