Terms Used In Kansas Statutes 61-3908

  • 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.

By entering into a supersedeas bond given pursuant to Kan. Stat. Ann. §§ 61-3905 and 61-3906, and amendments thereto, the surety submits to the jurisdiction of the court wherein the judgment becomes final, and irrevocably appoints the clerk of such court as the surety’s agent upon whom any papers affecting the surety’s liability on the bond may be served. The surety’s liability may be enforced on motion without the necessity of an independent action. The motion and such notice of the motion as the judge prescribes may be served on the clerk of the court who shall forthwith mail copies to the surety if the surety’s address is known.
