Terms Used In Hawaii Revised Statutes 653-12

  • 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.
  • Trial: A hearing that takes place when the defendant pleads "not guilty" and witnesses are required to come to court to give evidence.

After trial or hearing of the action, either in the original or any appellate court, the party prevailing in the trial or hearing shall obtain from the court in or before which the trial or hearing was had, a certificate, which shall sufficiently describe the action to apprise the garnishee of its identity, and shall state the nature of the judgment if any rendered therein, whether any appeal from or exceptions to the judgment were noted at the time of rendering the judgment, or whether the action had been voluntarily withdrawn or discontinued, and the certificate shall be immediately furnished to the garnishee.
