Terms Used In Kansas Statutes 61-3907

  • 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.
  • Appellate: About appeals; an appellate court has the power to review the judgement of another lower court or tribunal.

If a supersedeas bond was not filed with the notice of appeal, and if the action is not yet docketed on appeal, a bond may be filed with the court from which the appeal is taken. After the action is so docketed, application for leave to file a bond may be made only in the appellate court. When the surety for a supersedeas bond shall be insufficient, or such bond is insufficient in form or amount, the appellate court may on motion order a change or renewal of such bond, and direct that it be filed in such court.
