Terms Used In Kansas Statutes 61-3906

  • 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.
  • Damages: Money paid by defendants to successful plaintiffs in civil cases to compensate the plaintiffs for their injuries.
  • Defendant: In a civil suit, the person complained against; in a criminal case, the person accused of the crime.
  • Property: includes personal and real property. See Kansas Statutes 77-201

In appeals taken by the defendant in actions for the forcible detention of real property, the supersedeas bond filed on appeal shall be conditioned that the appellant will not commit or suffer waste to be committed on the premises in controversy, and if upon appeal the court judgment be rendered against the appellant, the appellant will pay the value of the use and occupation of the property, from the date such bond was filed until the delivery of the property pursuant to the judgment, and all damages and costs that may be awarded against the appellant.
