Delman v. Cleveland Heights

H. BROWN, J. The parties have stipulated that genuine issues of material fact exist as to whether the city was negligent in conducting
the point- of-sale inspections. Therefore, the issue we must resolve is whether the city and its employees owe a duty to the
Delmans to act reasonably when conducting and reporting point-of-sale inspections. Pursuant to our recent decision in Sawicki
v. Ottawa Hills (1988), 37 Ohio St.3d 222, 525 N.E. 2d 468, we hold that the city does not owe such a duty.
