  • Accused person: means a person, corporation or other legal entity accused by a complaint of the violation of a county code or resolution. See Kansas Statutes 19-4708
  • Jurisdiction: (1) The legal authority of a court to hear and decide a case. Concurrent jurisdiction exists when two courts have simultaneous responsibility for the same case. (2) The geographic area over which the court has authority to decide cases.

The judge, on motion of the accused person or on the judge’s own motion, shall set aside a judgment if the complaint does not charge a violation of a county code or resolution, or if the court was without jurisdiction of the offense. The motion for setting aside the judgment shall be made within 10 days after the finding of guilty, or within such further time as the court may fix during the ten-day period. Clerical mistakes in judgments or orders may be corrected by the court at any time.
