177 N.E.2d 287 | Ohio Ct. App. | 1961
On January 20, 1961, the decision of this court reversing a judgment of the Court of Common Pleas, Division of Domestic Relations, and remanding the cause thereto for a new trial was entered on the journal of this court. Pursuant thereto, the cause was remanded on the same date to the trial court. Thereafter, a notice of appeal to the Supreme Court was filed in this court and a motion to certify the record herein was filed by plaintiff, appellee herein, in the Supreme Court of Ohio, which is pending therein.** The cause comes on for hearing upon an application of plaintiff for the allowance of temporary alimony pursuant to the provisions of Section
The last sentence of Section
"When an appeal is taken by either party, the Court of Appeals, or a judge thereof in vacation, may grant like alimony, custody, and support during the pendency of the appeal, upon like notice."
Prior to the enactment of the foregoing sentence, it had been held that no authority was vested in the Court of Appeals to grant temporary alimony pending an appeal. Dann v. Dann,
In support of the motion, plaintiff cites Hebden v.Hebden,
The mere taking of an appeal from a judgment of the lower court upon questions of law does not of itself remove the cause in its entirety from the jurisdiction of the lower court. Thus, where nothing but a notice of appeal appears, a reviewing court will assume that the predicated appeal was on questions of law and when no supersedeas bond is given and no suspension of any order made, the lower court is free to proceed as though notice of appeal had not been given. Hence, in the absence of anything further, the lower court can make entries approving and confirming sales, etc., after the filing of the notice of appeal. In other cases involving miscellaneous fact situations, the rule has been reiterated that an appeal on questions of law does not necessarily bring the entire case before the appellate court but is only the final order, judgment or decree sought to be reviewed. *44
As to the remainder of the case, the lower court retains all jurisdiction not inconsistent with that of the appellate court to review, affirm, modify, or reverse the final order, judgment or decree from which the appeal has been perfected. 3 Ohio Jurisprudence (2d), 253, 254, Section 351. Cf. Fawick AirflexCo. v. United Electrical, Radio Machine Workers of America,
When a case, upon the application of the appellant in the Court of Appeals is remanded by that court to the trial court not merely for the purpose of correcting the records theretofore made in the trial court, but for the purpose of a further hearing therein, whether upon a supplemental motion for a new trial or otherwise, the jurisdiction of such cause is in the trial court, and the jurisdiction of the Court of Appeals can therefore be reinvoked only by the method and within the time prescribed by statute. New York Central Rd. Co. v. Francis,
With regard to the effect of a motion to certify the record upon a judgment of the Court of Appeals, it has been held that the jurisdiction of the Court of Appeals over a cause pending or determined in such court is not suspended by the mere filing of a motion in the Supreme Court to require such Court of Appeals to certify its record. City of Cincinnati v. Alcorn, a Taxpayer,
It is therefore held that upon the reversal of the judgment of the Court of Common Pleas, Division of Domestic Relations, *45 and the remand of the cause to that court for a new trial, such court was reinvested with jurisdiction, including jurisdiction to grant temporary alimony as well as injunctive relief pending redetermination of the cause, and that the Court of Appeals no longer retains jurisdiction to make an order for such relief.
Application for temporary alimony and other relief denied.
Application denied.
