Lyon Revocable Trust v. Berry
| 8-26-02 | Summary judgment; Civ.R. 56; breach of contract; unjust enrichment; fraud; conversion; parol evidence rule; fully integrated agreement. The trial court did not err by granting summary judgment in favor of the defendants-appellees on the plaintiff-appellant’s claims for breach of contract, unjust enrichment, and fraud because there is no genuine issue of material fact that the residential purchase agreement constituted a fully integrated contract and the purported personal property agreement could not be used to alter its terms. The trial court did not err by granting summary judgment on the conversion claim because it is functionally indistinguishable from the breach of contract claim and seeks identical damages. | Zimmerman | Logan |

| 3-25-27 | Vindictive Sentences, Consecutive Sentences. No presumption of a vindictive sentence on remand when the new sentence is less harsh than the first. Trial court did not err in imposing more consecutive sentences when the record shows no actual vindictiveness. | Willamowski | Crawford |

In re A.M.
| 5-25-33 | Manifest Weight; Permanent Custody; Best Interest; Relative Placement; Effective Assistance of Counsel. Trial court did not err in granting the motion for permanent custody when the child had been in the temporary custody of the Agency for 12 out of 22 consecutive months and the granting of the motion was in the child's best interest. Trial court did not err in not finding a relative placement for the child when no relatives were suggested or sought placement. Counsel was not ineffective and acted appropriately during the trial. | Willamowski | Hancock |

Bowers v. Brown
| 1-25-18 | Bench Trial; Manifest Weight of the Evidence; R.C. 5321.15(A); Self-Help Eviction; R.C. 5321.04(A); Landlord’s Obligations. The trial court’s finding that the landlord did not shut off water to the property for the purpose of recovering possession is supported by competent, credible evidence. The trial court’s finding that the landlord did not make threats of unlawful acts against the tenant-appellant for the purpose of recovering possession is supported by competent, credible evidence. The trial court’s finding that the tenant-appellant failed to prove damages for loss of use is supported by competent, credible evidence. Based on our review of the record, we conclude that the trial court’s decision is not against the manifest weight of the evidence. We further conclude that the trial court had competent, credible evidence before it on which to base its decision. | Zimmerman | Allen |
