The Supreme Court of Ohio’s ruling that the city of Columbus can appeal a trial court’s order temporarily blocking two gun-related local laws from taking effect is the latest Featured Decision video.

In a 5-2 opinion, the Supreme Court determined that a trial court’s preliminary injunction preventing a municipality from enforcing a new ordinance qualifies as a “final order,” which can be appealed. The Court found the city had a right to seek immediate enforcement of its newly enacted laws. The decision reversed a Fifth District Court of Appeals decision that found it lacked jurisdiction to hear the city’s appeal until the trial court completed the case.

The Court explained that the city’s “sovereign interest” in passing and enforcing its laws allowed it to immediately challenge the trial court’s injunction.
