Terms Used In Hawaii Revised Statutes 516-67

  • Equitable: Pertaining to civil suits in "equity" rather than in "law." In English legal history, the courts of "law" could order the payment of damages and could afford no other remedy. See damages. A separate court of "equity" could order someone to do something or to cease to do something. See, e.g., injunction. In American jurisprudence, the federal courts have both legal and equitable power, but the distinction is still an important one. For example, a trial by jury is normally available in "law" cases but not in "equity" cases. Source: U.S. Courts
  • Lessor: means any person who leases or subleases land to another, and the lessor's heirs, successors, legal representatives, and assigns. See Hawaii Revised Statutes 516-1

A lessor, fee owner, or any legal or equitable owner applying for a change in zoning in any area shall notify all of the lessor’s, fee owner’s, or legal or equitable owner’s lessees within three-fourths miles of the land proposed to be rezoned of the application and its contents at least thirty days before filing the same before any public zoning authority.
