Haw. R. Land. Ct. 12

As amended through September 30, 2024
Rule 12 - Notices

The citation shall be filed and the filing attorney or party shall thereupon examine the application, the examiner's report, the map and all papers filed with the record to see that all persons interested in any way in the title have been properly included in the citation. After thus checking it, the filing attorney or party shall file the original with the record which shall be entitled "Original Citation" and the filing attorney or party shall send a copy to the newspaper designated to publish the same. A copy of the citation as printed shall be filed in the record and be marked "Printed" Citation." Any corrections made by the filing attorney or party on the copy sent to the publisher shall also be noted on the original filed with the record. The description of the property sought to be registered contained in the citation shall be the correct description as found by the surveyor as given in his final report.

All citations and other notices ordered to be published by the court shall be published once in each of 3 consecutive weeks (3 insertions). The date of the hearing shall be determined by the registrar and inserted in the citation before sending it to the newspaper.

Notices by mail shall be by registered letter as provided for by statute and a return receipt shall be required in all cases; but in mailing such notices, the registrar may require that the return receipt be signed by the addressee only.

Notices generated electronically shall have the same effect and power as notices by registered letter as provided for by statute and the Hawai'i Electronic Filing and Service Rules.

Whenever, in any case, a notice given in accordance with the land registration act or the general forms of procedure or otherwise is held by the court to be insufficient, it may order such further notice as the case requires.
