Kansas Statutes Chapter 24. Drainage and Levees § 24-637. Construction of act; defects in assessments; modification of assessments

This act shall be liberally construed to promote the drainage and reclamation of wet, overflowed or submerged lands, and the establishment of said corporation and the collection of assessments shall not be defeated by reason of any defect in the proceedings occurring prior to the judgment of the court, or of the board of supervisors confirming and establishing the assessment of benefits and injuries, but such judgment shall be conclusive and final that all prior proceedings were regular and according to law, nor shall any person be permitted to take advantage of any error, defect or informality, unless the person complaining thereof is directly affected thereby, at any stage of the proceedings, and if the court or board of supervisors shall deem it just to release any person, or modify his assessment or liability; it shall in no manner affect the right or liability of any other person.
