Annotator's note: Since § 14-5-102 is similar to § 14-5-101 as it existed prior to the 2003 amendment to part 2 of article 5 of title 14, which resulted in the relocation of provisions, relevant cases construing that provision have been included in the annotations to this section.

Applied in Gruber v. Wallner, 198 Colo. 235, 598 P.2d 135 (1979); People ex rel. Meveren v. District Court, 638 P.2d 1371 (Colo. 1982); Dewar v. LeNard, 653 P.2d 82 (Colo. App. 1982).
