1. ““‘“Qualified immunity is ‘an entitlement not to stand trial or face the other burdens of litigation.’ [Citation omitted.] The privilege is ‘an immunity from suit rather than a mere defense to liability; and like an absolute immunity, it is effectively lost if a case is erroneously permitted to go to trial.’ [Citation omitted.] As a result, ‘we repeatedly have stressed the importance of resolving immunity questions at the earliest possible stage in litigation.’ [Citation omitted.]”’” State v. Jones, 298 Kan. 324, 332 , 311 P.3d 1125 (2013).”
