Ohio Supreme Court stays judgment allowing pipeline appropriation

My habit for many years, dating back to my trial-court clerking days, is to check for newly released appellate opinions at about ten o'clock every morning. There obviously are days that I can't do this; sometimes I'm in hearings, sometimes I'm with clients, etc. When this happens I usually just catch up the next day or next week. But now for the first time I've had the unhappy experience of being unable to check for new opinions because I was in trial, and having one of those opinions actually relate to the trial that was in progress.

Gas pipelines, surveys, and you

Today the Ninth District decided Nexus Gas Transmission v. Houston, a case interpreting the statute authorizing natural gas pipeline companies to enter onto private property for the purpose of surveying and appropriating property for pipelines and related operations.
