4. Cited; failure to provide private remedies in Kansas Uniform Trade Practices Act (K.S.A. 40-2401 et seq.) implies no private remedy intended. Earth Scientists v. United States Fidelity Ex Guar., 619 F. Supp. 1465, 1471 (1985).

6. Repeal of K.S.A. 50-115 applies retroactively because the statute was purely remedial, applying the repeal retroactively does not present any due process concerns, and the retroactive application promotes the purpose of the legislative change.
