In Basinger v. Pilarczyk, 125 Ohio App. 3d 74, 707 N.E.2d 1149 (1997), the Basingers, former teachers at a religious institution, brought a suit for breach of contract and age discrimination, alleging that they had been improperly terminated. The Ohio Court of Appeals for the First District held that it lacked jurisdiction to determine the breach of contract claim, but that the Basingers were entitled to an opportunity to demonstrate that the school's doctrinal reason for their termination was not the real motivation, a claim over which the court had jurisdiction.
