Terms Used In Kansas Statutes 58-3405
- 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
- Person: means an individual, partnership, corporation, organization or other association. See Kansas Statutes 58-3402
- Root of title: means that conveyance or other title transaction in the chain of title of a person, purporting to create the interest claimed by the person, upon which the person relies as a basis for the marketability of the person's title and which was the most recent to be recorded as of a date 25 years prior to the time when marketability is being determined. See Kansas Statutes 58-3402
- State: when applied to the different parts of the United States, includes the District of Columbia and the territories. See Kansas Statutes 77-201
