R. Exp. Child. Protect. App. 3
As amended through September 30, 2024
When an appeal is permitted by law, the notice of appeal shall be filed within 15 days after entry of the judgment or appealable order or decree. If the appeal is not filed within the 15-day period, but is otherwise filed within the time permitted by Rule 4 of the Hawai'i Rules of Appellate Procedure, the appeal shall not be dismissed for lack of jurisdiction, but the appellate court shall require the late-filing party or counsel to show cause as to why the party or counsel did not comply with the 15-day filing requirement. Absent good cause, the court may assess an appropriate monetary sanction against the responsible party or counsel.
