Terms Used In Hawaii Revised Statutes 641-31
- 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.
- Dismissal: The dropping of a case by the judge without further consideration or hearing. Source:
- 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.
Failure of an appellant to file a bond or to pay costs, or informality or insufficiency of a bond or payment of costs, does not affect the validity of the appeal, but is ground only for such remedies as are specified by the rules of court or, when no remedy is specified, for such action as the court having jurisdiction deems appropriate, which may include dismissal of the appeal.
