Terms Used In Hawaii Revised Statutes 486B-5
- Injunction: An order of the court prohibiting (or compelling) the performance of a specific act to prevent irreparable damage or injury.
- Person: means an individual, corporation, government or governmental subdivision or agency, business trust, estate, trust, partnership, unincorporated association, two or more of any of the foregoing having a joint or common interest, or any other legal or commercial entity. See Hawaii Revised Statutes 486B-1
- Temporary restraining order: Prohibits a person from an action that is likely to cause irreparable harm. This differs from an injunction in that it may be granted immediately, without notice to the opposing party, and without a hearing. It is intended to last only until a hearing can be held.
Any person who violates this chapter may be enjoined by the circuit court by a mandatory injunction or temporary restraining order necessary or proper to effectuate the purposes of this chapter in a suit brought by the attorney general in the name of the State or by any private person in the person’s own name.
