Terms Used In Hawaii Revised Statutes 664-9

  • Appellate: About appeals; an appellate court has the power to review the judgement of another lower court or tribunal.
  • Evidence: Information presented in testimony or in documents that is used to persuade the fact finder (judge or jury) to decide the case for one side or the other.

Whenever any person appeals, the commissioner of boundaries shall transmit to the clerk of the supreme court a copy of the record and of the commissioner’s decision, together with any exhibits filed and the bond for costs as in other cases. The intermediate appellate court or the supreme court may permit the introduction of new evidence that could not with due diligence have been obtained before, and the court’s decision shall be final and binding.
