HRS §165-5

What happens to a baseless lawsuit against a farm

This section says that if someone files a nuisance lawsuit against a farm and the court decides the lawsuit is frivolous, that lawsuit is handled under a different law about court costs and fees. It does not create new rules, just points to another section.
