Description
The opinion of the court was delivered by This is a class action brought by William J. Sterling, Helena Sterling and Robert E. Sterling (plaintiffs-appellees and cross-appellants) individually and on behalf of some 246 gas royalty owners, including those who do not reside in Kansas or have leases covering lands in Kansas or both, against their producer, The Superior Oil Company (defendant-appellant and cross-appellee), for recovery of interest on suspense royalties. The total amount of the suspense royalties held from May of 1960 to May of 1973 was slightly over $100,000, which Superior commingled with its other funds and used in its business operations. Except for the smaller size of class membership, the starting of withholding in May of 1960, the payout by Superior in May of 1973, and the judgment of the trial court on January 7, [222 Kan. 738] 1976, this case is identical in legal issues and factual situations to those presented in Shutts, Executor v. Phillips Petroleum Co., 222 Kan. 527, 567 P.2d 1292 (No. 47,917, decided July 11, 1977.) The same FPC Hugoton-Anadarko area and FPC Opinion No. 586 are involved.
