Terms Used In Kansas Statutes 25-4183
- Commission: means the governmental ethics commission. See Kansas Statutes 25-4143
- Equitable: Pertaining to civil suits in "equity" rather than in "law." In English legal history, the courts of "law" could order the payment of damages and could afford no other remedy. See damages. A separate court of "equity" could order someone to do something or to cease to do something. See, e.g., injunction. In American jurisprudence, the federal courts have both legal and equitable power, but the distinction is still an important one. For example, a trial by jury is normally available in "law" cases but not in "equity" cases. Source: U.S. Courts
- Injunction: An order of the court prohibiting (or compelling) the performance of a specific act to prevent irreparable damage or injury.

- Person: means any individual, committee, corporation, partnership, trust, organization or association. See Kansas Statutes 25-4143
- Restitution: The court-ordered payment of money by the defendant to the victim for damages caused by the criminal action.
- Writ: A formal written command, issued from the court, requiring the performance of a specific act.
