Terms Used In Kansas Statutes 75-6907

  • Contract: A legal written agreement that becomes binding when signed.
  • 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
  • Injunction: An order of the court prohibiting (or compelling) the performance of a specific act to prevent irreparable damage or injury.

Whenever it appears that an awarding authority is attempting to enforce any contract based upon a bid in which a mistake has been made contrary to the provisions of this act, an action may be brought in the district court of the county in which the contract was awarded to enjoin such enforcement and, upon a proper showing, a permanent or temporary injunction, restraining order or other equitable relief shall be granted in an action brought by the bidder, the attorney general or any county or district attorney.
