Terms Used In Kansas Statutes 72-2256
- Affidavit: A written statement of facts confirmed by the oath of the party making it, before a notary or officer having authority to administer oaths.
- Deposition: An oral statement made before an officer authorized by law to administer oaths. Such statements are often taken to examine potential witnesses, to obtain discovery, or to be used later in trial.
- Interrogatories: Written questions asked by one party of an opposing party, who must answer them in writing under oath; a discovery device in a lawsuit.
- Testimony: Evidence presented orally by witnesses during trials or before grand juries.
When either party desires to present testimony by affidavit or by deposition, that party shall furnish to the hearing officer the date on which the testimony shall be taken. A copy of the affidavit or the deposition shall be furnished to the opposing party within 10 days following the taking of any such testimony, and no such testimony shall be presented at a hearing until the opposite party has had at least 10 days prior to the date upon which the testimony is to be presented to the hearing officer to rebut such testimony by affidavit or deposition or to submit interrogatories to the affiant or deponent to be answered under oath. Such 10 day period, for good cause shown, may be extended by the hearing officer.
