Terms Used In Kansas Statutes 18-210
- Attachment: A procedure by which a person's property is seized to pay judgments levied by the court.
- Equitable: Pertaining to civil suits in "equity" rather than in "law." In English legal history, the courts of "law" could order the payment of damages and could afford no other remedy. See damages. A separate court of "equity" could order someone to do something or to cease to do something. See, e.g., injunction. In American jurisprudence, the federal courts have both legal and equitable power, but the distinction is still an important one. For example, a trial by jury is normally available in "law" cases but not in "equity" cases. Source: U.S. Courts
The detached territory shall not, by reason of such change, be released from the payment of its just and equitable proportions of any indebtedness incurred by the county to which it formerly belonged prior to and existing at the time of such change or detachment, nor shall such territory so detached be subject to the payment of any portion of indebtedness, either principal or interest, incurred or contracted by the county to which it becomes attached prior to the date of such change or attachment.
