Oberlin College has asked the Ohio Supreme Court to issue an order halting payment of the $36 million a court has awarded Gibson's Bakery while the college appeals rulings by two lower courts. (Snip) The college also accused the Gibsons of trying to prevent Zurich from filing a response.(Snip)"Even if neither the trial court's stay nor the terms of the bond contemplated that the stay would remain in effect pending the 'exhaustion of all of the Defendants' appeals,'" the Ohio Supreme Court "would have the authority to extend the stay and continue the term of the bond to encompass Oberlin's pending appeal," the college argued.

The Ohio Republican legislature should look into the finances of Oberlin and see if everything is in order. The way they are fighting this seems like they have a finance problem ie well underfunded pensions or other liabilities.

In udda woids, Oberlin's lawyers screwed up a lesson taught in Lawyering 101 -- be sure to proof-read any filing with the court-- and now wants the Ohio SC to fix their error.
OBERLIN: WRITE THE CHECK TO THE GIBSONS.

To my non-lawyer self my understanding is a stay is to prevent the execution of a judgement that cannot be undone or otherwise remedied.
I fail to see how that applies. If somehow the appeal goes through the Gibsons can just pay the money back. No harm no foul.
Oberlin, write the check.

Oberlin rushed to judge Gibson’s Bakery “racist” for having the audacity to challenge shoplifters.
Bullies who prey on those they deem easy marks deserve nothing less than a taste of their own medicine. Oberlin created a false narrative about a family business, and earned the punishment they now seek to avoid. No more delays are deserved.

#4~ According to an article in The Oberlin Review published March 17, 2021, Oberlin College’s “endowment surpassed $1 billion...and currently stands at $1.09 billion.” Another source (undated), Sovereign Wealth Fund Institute, shows Oberlin College assets at $1,437,500,000.

I'm getting a subscription wall at the original article site.
I recommend following this story through Legal Insurrection.

I don't know the intricacies of the appeal process, but I read something recently that suggested that Oberlin missed its opportunity to continue its appeal due to a filing oversight, prompting the Gibsons to request the judgment be paid. In April, the college's appeal was dismissed 3-0 by the 9th Ohio District Court of Appeals, upholding the 2019 judgment. Oberlin continues to hammer away.
This is illuminating:

If the Ohio Supreme Court has any sense, they’ll refuse to hear this case. If that happens, Zurich American owes Gibson’s a boatload of money, payable immediately. After that, Zurich and Oberlin can fight it out. And it sounds as if Oberlin may have a malpractice claim against their law firm.

Oberlin or the bonding company their lawyers hung out to dry by not getting a stay from the appropriate court earlier?

Gibson's Bakery might just be in the business of higher education in a few strokes of a judge's pen.

It has a nice, ivy league ring to it.

Why hasn't this college been closed for lack of students and their parent's wallets? They are going to drag this out until the Gibson's grandkids are dealing with this mess. This needs to be stopped and the judgement paid Oberlin. Deal with it, you lost.

No more delays... justice delayed is justice denied.
It looks like this Institution is trying to literally outlive the entire Gibson family.
How venal and greedy, avaricious and cruel the Oberlin cabal is.

This is neither a free speech case nor civil rights case. Oberlin defamed Gibson and Gibson's over the actions of a criminal Ami g their students who happened to be black. PAY UP YOU SOB'S OR CLOSE YOUR DOORS.

Why is it that social justice warriors always exempt themselves when they are found guilty of injustice to others?
