Christopher Hildebrant v. Thomas Weidman, Case No. 2022-0837 and 2022-1042
Twelfth District Court of Appeals (Warren County)
ISSUES:
- Is there an exception to the one-year statute of limitations on a libel claim if the publication of defamatory statements was secretive, concealed, or otherwise unknowable?
- Should Ohio recognize an exception to the statute of limitations for libel lawsuits that allow for filing the suit when the plaintiff discovers or should have discovered a defamatory statement?
- Should the exception to the one-year statute of limitations on libel claims apply to additional claims such as false light, invasion of privacy, and intentional infliction of emotional distress?
