As used in these rules:
Ohio. R. Superi. Ct. 2
Commentary (July 1, 1997)
This rule contains definitions of several terms used throughout the Rules of Superintendence. Because the Rules of Superintendence relate primarily to the internal operation of Ohio courts, these definitions are not intended to apply to questions of statutory interpretation. For example, the definition of "case" is designed as a benchmark for statistical reporting purposes that will allow for some uniform measure of the workload of the courts. The definition is not designed to address statutory issues such as the proper assessment of court costs or filing fees in civil and criminal cases. Reference should be made to Sup. R. 37(A)(4) and 43, and the Case Management Section of the Supreme Court's implementation manual for further information pertaining to the definition of "case."
