State ex rel. Libecap v. Indus Comm

In State ex rel. Libecap v. Indus Comm. (1998), 83 Ohio St.3d 178, 1998 Ohio 120, 699 N.E.2d 63, the commission found the claimant medically capable of sustained remunerative employment at the sedentary level, relying on a medical opinion stating that claimant could sit for no more than 30 minutes at a time. In mandamus, the Court found that the commission abused its discretion in determining that claimant had the medical capacity to perform sedentary work because such work requires sitting most of the time. Although the doctor had indicated that claimant could perform sedentary work, the Court found that the specific restrictions were so narrow as to preclude sustained remunerative employment.
