2 later decisions quote this exact passage“The law of Kansas permits an award of punitive damages “when the elements of fraud, malice, gross negligence or oppression accompany the wrongful act. Such damages are awarded to punish the wrongdoer for his malicious, vindictive, wilful or wanton invasion of the injured person’s rights. They also serve as an example to restrain and deter others from the commission of such wrongs.””
1 later decision quote this exact passage“The Court finds that the injury suffered by the plaintiffs is the injury to those growing crops caused by the inability to irrigate them, which is, in turn, caused by the presence of the salt in the groundwater. The plaintiffs suffer no injury from the abstract and ethereal damage to the substrata of their property.”
