Full text of Ohio Ohio Revised Code § 4707.27, with citation guidance and answers to common questions.
§ 4707.27.
A person who applies to a court of common pleas for an order directing payment from
the auction recovery fund under section 4707.261 of the Revised Code shall file notice of the application with the director of agriculture. The director may defend any such action on behalf of the fund and shall have recourse
to all appropriate means of defense and review, including examination of witnesses,
verification of actual and direct losses, and challenges to the underlying judgment
obtained from a court of competent jurisdiction to determine whether the underlying
judgment is based on activity that only a person holding a valid license issued under
this chapter is authorized to perform. The director may move the court of common pleas at any time to dismiss the application
when it appears that there are no triable issues and the application is without merit,
provided that the director shall give written notice to the applicant not fewer than
ten days before the motion is made. The motion may be supported by affidavit of any person having knowledge of the facts
and may be made on the basis that the application, including the underlying judgment
referred to in it, does not form the basis for a meritorious recovery claim. Subject to court approval, the director may compromise a claim based on the application
of the aggrieved party. The director shall not be bound by any prior compromise or stipulation of the licensee
who is the judgment debtor.
