A bullying lawsuit filed against the Mentor School District may be derailed without ever getting to the question of whether the schools did enough to keep a student from killing himself.
The Ohio Supreme Court heard argument today (Wednesday) on whether a wrongful death suit against the school system can proceed.
William and Janis Mohat sued the Mentor school board and administrators in March of 2009. That was three days before the statute of limitations to file a wrongful death suit would have expired.
But the school district says the Mohat family never established an estate before suing, so it had no status to sue.
The Mohat’s lawyer, Kenneth Myers, admitted to the court, he made technical errors.
