• Sivinski v. Kelley, (Ohio 2011)

Trial court erred in failing to grant motion for directed verdict on counterclaims for spoliation of the evidence and abuse of process. Concealment does not give rise to a spoliation of the evidence claim. The absence of any evidence of an ulterior motive warranted a directed verdict on the abuse of process claim. Trial court properly granted directed verdict on plaintiff’s claims for declaratory judgment, breach of contract, unjust enrichment, and breach of fiduciary duty. The doctrines of collateral and judicial estoppel were inapplicable.
