Ohio House considers broad malpractice reform package
A proposed Ohio bill set to be introduced by the Ohio Department of Insurance would require physicians to complete 150 hours of continuing medical education every three years for relicensing, set a sliding contingency fee scale for lawyers, create a joint underwriting association for malpractice policies, require suits heard by the Ohio Court of Claims, standardize informed consent forms to binding arbitration, and expand state oversight. The package aims to increase insurance availability and lower long term malpractice costs, with support from major medical, legal, and hospital groups.

Tax court ruling favors Metzenbaum in purchase lease dispute
CLEVELAND AP The U S Tax Court ruled in favor of Howard Metzenbaum and Alva Bonda in a federal case over their 1973 purchase of an ethane extraction plant in Louisiana and its lease to Allied Chemical. They faced government claims of bona fide business transactions and a depreciation adjustment. Metzenbaum expects about two thirds of his deposit back from the IRS, noting the dispute followed his Nixon enemies list stance.
