Revisor's Note:
In the revision of the code of civil procedure by the 1963 Kansas legislature all of old chapter 60 was repealed and new chapter, articles and sections were assigned. Consequently, this code contains subject matter similar to many of the old sections of chapter 60 of the General Statutes of 1949 and the 1961 Supplement thereto, but in most instances with new numbers.
Comparative tables of sections may be found commencing on page 2 of Volume 4A of the Kansas Statutes Annotated, dated 1983.
Revisor's Note:
Article 1 of Chapter 60 of the Kansas Statutes Annotated was amended during the 2010 session to conform with the style of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure. Part of the style change enacted by the legislature changes the word "shall" where it previously appeared in this article to the word "must," or in some instances to "should" or "may." Generally, Kansas statutes and case law use the word "shall" to mean "must," and "may" to mean "should" or "may." Federal case law may be helpful in determining the meaning of the words "must," "should" and "may" as used in this article.
