Hawaii Revised Statutes 239-25 – Nonseverability

If a court of competent jurisdiction enters a final judgment on the merits that:

(1) Is based on federal law;

Appeal: A request made after a trial, asking another court (usually the court of appeals) to decide whether the trial was conducted properly. To make such a request is "to appeal" or "to take an appeal." One who appeals is called the appellant.
Jurisdiction: (1) The legal authority of a court to hear and decide a case. Concurrent jurisdiction exists when two courts have simultaneous responsibility for the same case. (2) The geographic area over which the court has authority to decide cases.

(2) Is no longer subject to appeal; and

(3) Substantially limits or impairs the essential elements of sections 239-21 to 239-24,

then sections 239-21 to 239-24 are invalid and have no legal effect as of the date of entry of the judgment.
