Peebles v. Clement

In Peebles v. Clement (1980), 63 Ohio St.2d 314, 408 N.E.2d 689, the Supreme Court of Ohio held that the prejudgment attachment procedure, as provided by R.C. Chapter 2715, failed to give a defendant sufficient due process guarantees under the United States and Ohio Constitutions because it did not provide for judicial supervision of the procedure. As relevant to appellants' argument here, the court also held that statutes providing for prejudgment attachment must require the plaintiff to furnish an appropriate bond or other security to compensate the defendant in the event that seizure was wrongful. Id. at 321.
