Terms Used In Hawaii Revised Statutes 368-15

  • Settlement: Parties to a lawsuit resolve their difference without having a trial. Settlements often involve the payment of compensation by one party in satisfaction of the other party's claims.

At any time in its discretion but not later than one year from the date of a conciliation agreement, predetermination settlement, or after the date of a commission’s order to cease an unlawful practice and to take appropriate remedy, the commission shall investigate whether the terms of the agreement, settlement, or order are being complied with by the respondent. Upon a finding that the terms of the agreement, settlement, or the terms of the commission’s order, are not being complied with by the respondent, the commission shall take affirmative action as authorized in § 368-3.
