finding R.C. 3702 provided a special statutory proceeding to apply for a certificate of need and since the procedure outlined in R.C. 3702 is a specialized procedure, declaratory relief is inappropriate
How later courts described this case
- finding R.C. 3702 provided a special statutory proceeding to apply for a certificate of need and since the procedure outlined in R.C. 3702 is a specialized procedure, declaratory relief is inappropriate
- finding claims for violations of due process and abuse of discretion and seeking declaratory relief were an improper attempt to bypass a special statutory procedure
Written by the judges who cited it.
The opinion
Whiteside, J.,
concurring. Since the dismissal of the declaratory action was appropriately within the discretion of the common pleas court, the dismissal was proper. However, it does not necessarily follow that the trial court would have abused its discretion had it retained the action. I concur only upon the understanding that we do not determine that issue herein.
