Book excerpt: 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."

Book excerpt: The Secretary of Administration has the authority to enter into an agreement with a non-profit corporation whereby that corporation, at its own expense, will plan and construct a Fountain of Justice, dependent upon the Secretary's approval, on state-owned property. The Secretary may further agree to maintain such fountain, provided the agreement complies with relevant budget laws.

Book excerpt: 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 excerpt: 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.

Book excerpt: Service of process is a condition precedent to an employee's request for the provision of defense counsel by a governmental entity, unless such condition is waived. If, after the employee has been served, the entity lawfully refuses to provide for such defense, and if the request was made in accordance with the statute, then the entity must reimburse the employee for attorney expenses incurred as a result of the retention of private counsel. Absent service of process, timely request for, and proper refusal of providing legal defense counsel, no right is conferred on the employee to retain private counsel at the expense of the governmental entity.
