(b) It is the duty of the adjutant general to furnish a certificate on application; and any certificate signed by any one of the officers of the adjutant general or by any person purporting upon the face of the certificates to have been so authorized shall be prima facie evidence of its contents and of the authority of the officer to issue it.  (c) Where a person in military service has been reported missing, the person shall be presumed to continue in the service until accounted for, and no period under this chapter which begins or ends with the death of such person shall begin or end until the death of such person is in fact reported to or found by the department of defense, or any court or board thereof, or until death is determined by a court of competent jurisdiction.

2021 Hawaii Revised Statutes|Title 36. Civil Remedies and Defenses and Special Proceedings|658A. Uniform Arbitration Act|658A-2 Notice.

  §658A-2 Notice. (a) Except as otherwise provided in this chapter, a person gives notice to another person by taking action that is reasonably necessary to inform the other person in ordinary course, whether or not the other person acquires knowledge of the notice.  (b) A person has notice if the person has knowledge of the notice or has received notice.

2021 Hawaii Revised Statutes|Title 36. Civil Remedies and Defenses and Special Proceedings|658A. Uniform Arbitration Act|658A-3 When chapter applies

 §658A-3 When chapter applies. (a) Except as provided in subsection (c), this chapter governs an agreement to arbitrate made on or after July 1, 2002.  (b) This chapter governs an agreement to arbitrate made before July 1, 2002, if all the parties to the agreement or to the arbitration proceeding so agree in a record. If the parties to the agreement or to the arbitration do not so agree in a record, an agreement to arbitrate that is made before July 1, 2002, shall be governed by the law specified in the agreement to arbitrate or, if none is specified, by the state law in effect on the date when the arbitration began or on June 30, 2002, whichever first occurred.  (c) After June 30, 2004, this chapter governs an agreement to arbitrate whenever made. [L 2001, c 265, pt of §1; am L 2002, c 50, §1] Revision Note  "July 1, 2002" substituted for "the effective date of this chapter". Case Notes  Where appellant was already bound by an arbitration agreement executed on February 24, 2000, and therefore the post-July 1, 2002 arbitration agreement was not a "new" arbitration agreement that would dictate the application of this chapter to the arbitration proceedings, subsection (a) was inapplicable to the case. 113 H. 127, 149 P.3d 495 (2006).  Where arbitration proceeding commenced prior to June 30, 2004, subsection (c) was inapplicable to the case; thus, under the circumstances of the case and the plain language of subsection (b), the governing law applicable to the arbitration proceeding was chapter 658. 113 H. 127, 149 P.3d 495 (2006).  Where the agreement to arbitrate was executed on February 24, 2000 and the arbitration proceeding commenced on February 18, 2004, that is, prior to June 30, 2004 but after June 30, 2002, pursuant to the plain reading of the alternative stated in the second sentence of subsection (b), the governing law applicable to the arbitration proceeding was the law that was in effect on June 30, 2002, i.e., chapter 658. 113 H. 127, 149 P.3d 495 (2006).  To the extent that there may be a conflict between the jurisdictional provisions of this chapter and chapter 89, chapter 89 takes precedence over this chapter. 132 H. 492 (App.), 323 P.3d 136 (2014).

  §658A-4 Effect of agreement to arbitrate; nonwaivable provisions. (a) Except as otherwise provided in subsections (b) and (c), a party to an agreement to arbitrate or to an arbitration proceeding may waive, or the parties may vary the effect of, the requirements of this chapter to the extent permitted by law.  (b) Before a controversy arises that is subject to an agreement to arbitrate, a party to the agreement shall not:  (1) Waive or agree to vary the effect of the requirements of section 658A-5(a), 658A-6(a), 658A-8, 658A-17(a), 658A-17(b), 658A-26, or 658A-28;  (2) Agree to unreasonably restrict the right under section 658A-9 to notice of the initiation of an arbitration proceeding;  (3) Agree to unreasonably restrict the right under section 658A-12 to disclosure of any facts by a neutral arbitrator; or  (4) Waive the right under section 658A-16 of a party to an agreement to arbitrate to be represented by a lawyer at any proceeding or hearing under this chapter, but an employer and a labor organization may waive the right to representation by a lawyer in a labor arbitration.  (c) A party to an agreement to arbitrate or arbitration proceeding shall not waive, or the parties shall not vary the effect of, the requirements of this section or section 658A-3(a) or (c), 658A-7, 658A-14, 658A-18, 658A-20(d) or (e), 658A-22, 658A-23, 658A-24, 658A-25(a) or (b), or 658A-29.

2021 Hawaii Revised Statutes|Title 36. Civil Remedies and Defenses and Special Proceedings|658A. Uniform Arbitration Act|658A-5 Application for judicial relief

  §658A-5 Application for judicial relief. (a) Except as otherwise provided in section 658A-28, an application for judicial relief under this chapter shall be made by motion to the court and heard in the manner provided by law or rule of court for making and hearing motions.  (b) Unless a civil action involving the agreement to arbitrate is pending, notice of an initial motion to the court under this chapter shall be served in the manner provided by law for the service of a summons in a civil action. Otherwise, notice of the motion shall be given in the manner provided by law or rule of court for serving motions in pending cases. [L 2001, c 265, pt of §1]
HI Rev Stat § 658A-6 (2021)
2021 Hawaii Revised Statutes|Title 36. Civil Remedies and Defenses and Special Proceedings|658A. Uniform Arbitration Act|658A-6 Validity of agreement to arbitrate

  §658A-6 Validity of agreement to arbitrate. (a) An agreement contained in a record to submit to arbitration any existing or subsequent controversy arising between the parties to the agreement is valid, enforceable, and irrevocable except upon a ground that exists at law or in equity for the revocation of a contract.  (b) The court shall decide whether an agreement to arbitrate exists or a controversy is subject to an agreement to arbitrate.  (c) An arbitrator shall decide whether a condition precedent to arbitrability has been fulfilled and whether a contract containing a valid agreement to arbitrate is enforceable.  (d) If a party to a judicial proceeding challenges the existence of, or claims that a controversy is not subject to, an agreement to arbitrate, the arbitration proceeding may continue pending final resolution of the issue by the court, unless the court otherwise orders. [L 2001, c 265, pt of §1] Case Notes  Circuit court erred in determining that petitioner's claim that the arbitration provision in question was unconscionable on several grounds were beyond the scope of its review in deciding on a motion to compel arbitration; unconscionability is a generally applicable contract defense and is within the scope of the circuit court's review on the question of whether a valid and enforceable agreement to arbitrate exists. 130 H. 437, 312 P.3d 869 (2013).  The circuit court should have granted the petitioner's motion to compel arbitration because there was an arbitration agreement between the parties that clearly and unmistakably left the issue of arbitrability to the arbitrator. 132 H. 426, 322 P.3d 966 (2014).

  §658A-8 Provisional remedies. (a) Before an arbitrator is appointed and is authorized and able to act, the court, upon motion of a party to an arbitration proceeding and for good cause shown, may enter an order for provisional remedies to protect the effectiveness of the arbitration proceeding to the same extent and under the same conditions as if the controversy were the subject of a civil action.  (b) After an arbitrator is appointed and is authorized and able to act:  (1) The arbitrator may issue such orders for provisional remedies, including interim awards, as the arbitrator finds necessary to protect the effectiveness of the arbitration proceeding and to promote the fair and expeditious resolution of the controversy, to the same extent and under the same conditions as if the controversy were the subject of a civil action; and  (2) A party to an arbitration proceeding may move the court for a provisional remedy only if the matter is urgent and the arbitrator is not able to act timely or the arbitrator cannot provide an adequate remedy.  (c) A party does not waive a right of arbitration by making a motion under subsection (a) or (b). [L 2001, c 265, pt of §1]

  §658A-9 Initiation of arbitration. (a) A person initiates an arbitration proceeding by giving notice in a record to the other parties to the agreement to arbitrate in the agreed manner between the parties or, in the absence of agreement, by certified or registered mail, return receipt requested and obtained, or by service as authorized for the commencement of a civil action. The notice shall describe the nature of the controversy and the remedy sought.  (b) Unless a person objects for lack or insufficiency of notice under section 658A-15(c) before the beginning of the arbitration hearing, by appearing at the hearing the person waives any objection to lack of or insufficiency of notice. [L 2001, c 265, pt of §1] Case Notes  This section is not limited to persons asserting a claim; the plain language of this section sets forth the requirements for initiating an arbitration proceeding by a person who is a party to an arbitration agreement. 107 H. 386, 114 P.3d 892 (2005).

  §658A-10 Consolidation of separate arbitration proceedings. (a) Except as otherwise provided in subsection (c), upon motion of a party to an agreement to arbitrate or to an arbitration proceeding, the court may order consolidation of separate arbitration proceedings as to all or some of the claims if:  (1) There are separate agreements to arbitrate or separate arbitration proceedings between the same persons or one of them is a party to a separate agreement to arbitrate or a separate arbitration proceeding with a third person;  (2) The claims subject to the agreements to arbitrate arise in substantial part from the same transaction or series of related transactions;  (3) The existence of a common issue of law or fact creates the possibility of conflicting decisions in the separate arbitration proceedings; and  (4) Prejudice resulting from a failure to consolidate is not outweighed by the risk of undue delay or prejudice to the rights of or hardship to parties opposing consolidation.  (b) The court may order consolidation of separate arbitration proceedings as to some claims and allow other claims to be resolved in separate arbitration proceedings.  (c) The court may not order consolidation of the claims of a party to an agreement to arbitrate if the agreement prohibits consolidation. [L 2001, c 265, pt of §1] Case Notes  Circuit court did not err in declining to order consolidated arbitration where there were no separate pending arbitration proceedings to consolidate. 124 H. 372 (App.), 244 P.3d 609 (2010).

2021 Hawaii Revised Statutes|Title 36. Civil Remedies and Defenses and Special Proceedings|658A. Uniform Arbitration Act|658A-11 Appointment of arbitrator; service as a neutral arbitrator

  §658A-11 Appointment of arbitrator; service as a neutral arbitrator. (a) If the parties to an agreement to arbitrate agree on a method for appointing an arbitrator, that method shall be followed, unless the method fails. If the parties have not agreed on a method, the agreed method fails, or an arbitrator appointed fails or is unable to act and a successor has not been appointed, the court, on motion of a party to the arbitration proceeding, shall appoint the arbitrator. An arbitrator so appointed has all the powers of an arbitrator designated in the agreement to arbitrate or appointed pursuant to the agreed method.  (b) An individual who has a known, direct, and material interest in the outcome of the arbitration proceeding or a known, existing, and substantial relationship with a party may not serve as an arbitrator required by an agreement to be neutral.

2021 Hawaii Revised Statutes|Title 36. Civil Remedies and Defenses and Special Proceedings|658A. Uniform Arbitration Act|658A-12 Disclosure by arbitrator

  §658A-12 Disclosure by arbitrator. (a) Before accepting appointment, an individual who is requested to serve as an arbitrator, after making a reasonable inquiry, shall disclose to all parties to the agreement to arbitrate and arbitration proceeding and to any other arbitrators any known facts that a reasonable person would consider likely to affect the impartiality of the arbitrator in the arbitration proceeding, including:  (1) A direct and material financial or personal interest in the outcome of the arbitration proceeding; and  (2) An existing or past substantial relationship with any of the parties to the agreement to arbitrate or the arbitration proceeding, their counsel or representatives, a witness, or another arbitrator.  (b) An arbitrator has a continuing obligation to disclose to all parties to the agreement to arbitrate and arbitration proceeding and to any other arbitrators any facts that the arbitrator learns after accepting appointment that a reasonable person would consider likely to affect the impartiality of the arbitrator.  (c) If an arbitrator discloses a fact required by subsection (a) or (b) to be disclosed and a party timely objects to the appointment or continued service of the arbitrator based upon the fact disclosed, the objection may be a ground under section 658A-23(a)(2) for vacating an award made by the arbitrator.  (d) If the court, upon timely objection by a party, determines that the arbitrator did not disclose a fact required by subsection (a) or (b) to be disclosed, the court may determine that such failure to disclose constituted evident partiality and vacate an award made by the arbitrator pursuant to section 658A-23(a)(2).  (e) If the parties to an arbitration proceeding agree to the procedures of an arbitration organization or any other procedures for challenges to arbitrators before an award is made, substantial compliance with those procedures is a condition precedent to a motion to vacate an award on that ground under section 658A-23(a)(2). [L 2001, c 265, pt of §1; am L 2017, c 187, §1] Case Notes  Although disclosure of de minimis interests or relationships is not required, arbitrators must at the outset disclose, then continually disclose throughout the course of an arbitration proceeding, any known facts that a reasonable person would consider likely to affect the arbitrator's impartiality. 136 H. 29, 358 P.3d 1 (2015).  "Counsel" does not include all attorneys in the law firm of an attorney representing a party to an arbitration. However, depending on the circumstances, the facts that a reasonable person would consider likely to affect an arbitrator's impartiality, thereby requiring disclosure by the arbitrator, could include the arbitrator's relationships with other attorneys within a law firm of counsel representing a party to the arbitration. 136 H. 29, 358 P.3d 1 (2015).
