Case Brief Summary & Legal Analysis
tl;dr: A court permitted a plaintiff to amend a petition to correct a typographical error designating the wrong procedural code. This amendment was allowed to relate back, making a judgment lien effective against a party who purchased the defendant’s real estate after the original petition was filed.
Legal Significance: A statutory requirement to designate the procedural code on a petition is directory, not mandatory. A typographical error in such a designation is a formal defect that may be corrected by amendment, which can relate back to the original filing date under K.S.A. 60-215.

Case Facts & Court Holding
Key Facts & Case Background
Hole-in-One, Inc. (plaintiff) filed a petition to recover on two promissory notes from Kansas Industrial Land Corp. (KILC). The petition contained a typographical error, stating it was filed pursuant to Chapter 61 (limited actions) instead of Chapter 60 (general civil procedure). However, the plaintiff paid a Chapter 60 filing fee, the clerk assigned a Chapter 60 case number, and all subsequent actions, including service of process and discovery, were conducted under Chapter 60 rules. While the suit was pending, KILC sold its only major asset, a parcel of real estate, to the Hudgeons (intervenors). The Hudgeons and their title insurers were aware of the pending lawsuit and the discrepancy between the petition’s designation and the case number. After two title companies refused to insure the property without an escrow to cover a potential judgment, a third company agreed to do so. After the sale, the plaintiff moved to amend its petition to correct the designation from Chapter 61 to Chapter 60. The district court granted the motion. The Hudgeons intervened to challenge the order, as a Chapter 60 judgment lien would relate back to the petition’s filing date and encumber their property, whereas a Chapter 61 lien would not.
