Most-quoted passages

The sentences later courts lift from this opinion, ranked by how many decisions quote each — the parts of the opinion doing the work. These counts are smaller than the citation total above because most of the 26 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.

1. ““This court held, at page 189, that ‘[t]he requirement of R.C. 4141.28(H), that the administrator’s decision on reconsideration be mailed “to the last known post office address of the appellant,” contemplates that the administrator will mail the copy of the decision to the most current address available in the records of the bureau. That requirement is reasonably calculated to apprise the appellant of the decision and to afford him an opportunity to appeal within rule. R.C. 4141.28(H) meets the test of Mullane, supra, and In re Foreclosure of Liens, supra [(1980), 62 Ohio St.2d 333 ( 16 O.O.3d 393 )] and is therefore not unconstitutional on its face.’ “There is no significant distinction between the effect of the notice requirements in R.C. 4507.40(K) and 4141.28(H). Both sections require notice to be mailed to the last known address, and both involve the constitutionality of a statutory scheme for administrative suspension or revocation of a benefit or right. As such, we find that the notice provision in'R.C. 4507.40 is reasonably calculated to apprise the licensee of his license suspension.””
