Terms Used In Kansas Statutes 60-2004

  • Appeal: A request made after a trial, asking another court (usually the court of appeals) to decide whether the trial was conducted properly. To make such a request is "to appeal" or "to take an appeal." One who appeals is called the appellant.
  • Reporter: Makes a record of court proceedings and prepares a transcript, and also publishes the court's opinions or decisions (in the courts of appeals).
  • State: when applied to the different parts of the United States, includes the District of Columbia and the territories. See Kansas Statutes 77-201

Payment of the costs of any action in any court in this state including, but not limited to, the payment of court reporter fees, shall not be considered an acquiescence in the judgment or any order of the court so as to prevent an appeal by the person or persons paying such costs. This act shall not apply to any pending question arising out of such payment heretofore made, but otherwise this act shall apply to all actions heretofore or hereafter filed.
