Schott v. Board of Liquor Control
Schott v. Board of Liquor Control
Opinion of the Court
OPINION
Submitted on motion of Eleanor Schott, the appellee herein, seeking an order dismissing the appeal of the Department of Liquor Control for the reason that the same is not properly taken pursuant to the provisions of §119.12 R. C. In the case of Katz v. Dept. of Liquor Control, 166 Oh St 229, the court held that an administrative agency may appeal from a judgment of the Court of Common Pleas only upon question^ of
“With respect to the application itself, while made before appellant had actually acquired the business, it was made in anticipation of so acquiring same, and at the time of the hearing, it had become true in fact; that is, that Eleanor Schott was the sole owner of the business.
“The court therefore concludes that the action of the Board’s ruling was unreasonable and unlawful.”
It therefore appears that when the application was made the appellee was not the owner or operator of the business. Whether or not a permit may be issued under such circumstances involves a construction of §4303.13-14 R. C. Hence, we conclude that the Department may prosecute the appeal under §319.12 R. C., and the motion will be overruled.
