Terms Used In Kansas Statutes 50-6a21

  • Act: means the provisions of Kan. See Kansas Statutes 50-6a07
  • 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.
  • Settlement: Parties to a lawsuit resolve their difference without having a trial. Settlements often involve the payment of compensation by one party in satisfaction of the other party's claims.

If a court of competent jurisdiction finds that the provisions of Kan. Stat. Ann. §§ 50-6a01 through 50-6a03, and amendments thereto, conflict with and cannot be reconciled with any other provisions of this act, then such provisions of Kan. Stat. Ann. §§ 50-6a01 through 50-6a03, and amendments thereto, shall control. If any provision of this act causes Kan. Stat. Ann. §§ 50-6a01 through 50-6a03, and amendments thereto, to no longer constitute a qualifying or model statute as those terms are defined in the master settlement agreement, then that portion of this act shall not be valid. If any provision of this act is for any reason held to be invalid, unlawful or unconstitutional, such decision shall not affect the validity of the remaining portions of this act or any part thereof.
