Book Description
Although a permit term or condition is not considered a "provision of the act" under K.S.A. 65-171t, and thus an action may not be brought pursuant to that section, injunctive relief may be sought through the broad powers granted to the secretary under K.S.A. 65-101. K.S.A. 65-170b grants broad authority to KDHE representatives to make inspections of records relating to a permitted facility to determine compliance with statutory and regulatory provisions relating to water pollution or public water supply. K.S.A. 65-171b does not provide for an override of the thirty day notice period provided by K.S.A. 65-165, but the same result may be achieved through injunctive relief. K.S.A. 60-224(b)(2) provides for permissive intervention when an applicant has a claim or defense with a question of law or of fact in common with the main action. "Sewage," as defined by K.S.A. 1986 Supp. 65-164 would include wastes with elevated temperatures, as long as they are "from domestic, manufacturing or other forms of industry." Cited herein: K.S.A. 60-224(b)(2); K.S.A. 65-101; K.S.A. 1986 Supp. 65-164; K.S.A. 65-165; 65-170b; 65-171b; K.S.A. 1986 Supp. 65-171d; K.S.A. 65-171t.

Book Description
K.S.A. 20-105 provides that to be qualified to hold the office of justice of the supreme court or judge of the court of appeals, a person must have been regularly admitted to practice law in Kansas and have engaged in the active and continuous practice of law for a period of at least ten years prior to the date of appointment as justice or judge. Though the strict definition of "active practice" would require that the legal activities of the person in question be pursued on a full-time basis and constitute his regular business, the general rule that statutory provisions imposing qualifications for office should be construed in favor of those seeking to hold office would serve to soften this requirement. Thus, a potential nominee need not be a full-time trial attorney to be considered as actively engaged in the practice of law, and is not automatically disqualified merely for holding a position which does not require legal expertise. Cited herein: K.S.A. 20-105; 20-3002; K.S.A. 1986 Supp. 22-3707.

Book Description
The intent of L. 1987, ch. 215 is to encourage individuals to serve as volunteers for certain nonprofit organizations by granting to the volunteer immunity from liability for negligent acts or omissions. There are limitations to this immunity. For the act to apply, the organization must carry general liability insurance which will pay on behalf of the insured when an individual suffers loss for which the insured is liable. The exact amount and type of insurance required is to be determined in light of the exposure to liability which arises out of the organization's activities. Cited herein: L. 1987, ch. 215, sec. 1 (to be codified at K.S.A. 1987 Supp. 60-3601).

Book Description
Since it is the client's intent which governs the distinction between privileged and non-privileged communications, a determination of whether or not information exchanged between attorney and client is privileged requires a case-by-case consideration. To ensure compliance with the dictates of Canon 4 of the Code of Professional Responsibility and K.S.A. 60-426, when a supervising agency requests that an attorney release particular client information for enumerative or evaluative purposes, the attorney may either obtain the client's consent to do so, or, if the client refuses, compile the requested data in a less intrusive manner. If, however, the agency requests the data for purposes of determining a client's financial eligibility onto satisfy funding requirements, the exception to the privilege under DR-4-101(C)(4) would apply, making the aforementioned precautions unnecessary. Cited herein: K.S.A. 45-217; 45-221; 60-426; K.S.A. 1986 Supp. 20-3100, Supreme Court Rule No. 225, D.R. 4-101.
