GPI Distributors, Inc. v. Northeast Ohio Regional Sewer District
Paid petition · Court of Appeals of Ohio, Cuyahoga County, No. 106806 · judgment December 6, 2018
Before the decision, well below the 4.1% base rate, with no standout signals pointing toward a grant.
Question presented
Do the Due Process and Equal Protection Clauses prohibit states from imposing substantial financial burdens on indigent parties seeking judicial review (as at least six states have held), or may states effectively deprive low-income litigants of access to the judicial system (as at least five states have held)—even when the court access in question represents the party’s first opportunity to obtain meaningful judicial review of an involuntary property taking?
