It is the policy of the State of Hawaii to encourage the use of arbitration, mediation, and conciliation to resolve disputes arising out of international relationships and to maximize private autonomy over such proceedings by limiting court involvement therein to:

(1) The enforcement of decisions, awards, and settlement; and

Terms Used In Hawaii Revised Statutes 658D-3

  • Settlement: Parties to a lawsuit resolve their difference without having a trial. Settlements often involve the payment of compensation by one party in satisfaction of the other party's claims.
(2) Ancillary matters in aid of such proceedings.
