Full text of Ohio Ohio Revised Code § 1303.18, with citation guidance and answers to common questions.
§ 1303.18.
In an action for breach of an obligation for which a third person is answerable over
pursuant to this chapter or sections 1304.01 to 1304.40 of the Revised Code , the defendant may give the third person notice of the litigation in a record, and
the person notified may then give similar notice to any other person who is answerable
over. If the notice states that the person notified may come in and defend and that failure
to do so will bind the person notified in an action later brought by the person giving
the notice as to any determination of fact common to the two litigations, the person
notified is so bound unless after seasonable receipt of the notice the person notified
does come in and defend.
