Terms Used In Hawaii Revised Statutes 583A-314

  • 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.
  • Appellate: About appeals; an appellate court has the power to review the judgement of another lower court or tribunal.

An appeal may be taken from a final order in a proceeding under this part in accordance with expedited appellate procedures in other civil cases. Unless the court enters a temporary emergency order under § 583A-204, the enforcing court shall not stay an order enforcing a child-custody determination pending appeal.
