Case Designation Form

CASE DESIGNATION FORM. This form from the Findlay Municipal Court is used to provide essential information when initiating a civil case. It helps the court determine how to classify and process the case by requiring the plaintiff or the plaintiff’s attorney to identify the nature of the claim—such as auto accident damage, unpaid wages, breach of contract, eviction, or small claims—by marking the appropriate civil category. The form asks whether the case has been previously filed and dismissed or if it is related to any other pending or closed cases, along with details about the courts and judges involved. It also gathers information about whether any parties require an interpreter, whether any parties are minors, and whether the case may be suitable for mediation. The form allows the plaintiff to request regular mail service if certified mail is returned as refused or unclaimed, in accordance with Ohio Civil Rules. Completing this form accurately is required under Rule 11 of the Ohio Rules of Civil Procedure, and failure to do so may delay case processing. www.FormsWorkflow.com
