State ex rel. Shane v. New Philadelphia Police Department

Douglas, J.,

concurring in judgment only. I concur only in the judgment. R.C. 149.43 accords the absolute right of mandamus to obtain public records. There is no exception to this right, based on an adequate remedy at law, contained in the statute. Once again, the majority rewrites a statute to meet its desired result.

I concur, however, because the records sought fall within the exceptions found in R.C. 149.43.
