Hunter v. Shenango Furnace Co

In Hunter v. Shenango Furnace Co. (1988), 38 Ohio St.3d 235, 527 N.E.2d 871, the issue before the court was the appropriate statute of limitations for a cause of action for an employer intentional tort that arose prior to the effective date of former R.C. 4121.80, the General Assembly's initial attempt to codify actions against employers for intentional torts. In Hunter, the Court held that 'unless the circumstances of an action clearly indicate a battery or any other enumerated intentional tort in the Revised Code, a cause of action alleging bodily injury as a result of an intentional tort by an employer will be governed by the two-year statute of limitations established in R.C. 2305.10.'
