HRS §206J-20

Court cases about this law get priority

This section says that court cases involving the development corporation, the State, or a county that question whether this chapter is valid must be heard before most other civil cases. Only election cases come first. The same priority applies if the development corporation joins a case questioning the chapter's validity.

The statute, as written — Court proceedings; preference

Any action or proceeding to which the development corporation, the State, or a county may be a party, in which any question arises as to the validity of this chapter, shall be preferred over all other civil causes, except election cases, without respect to position on the calendar. The same preference shall be given upon application of counsel to the development corporation in any action or proceeding questioning the validity of this chapter in which the development corporation has duly intervened.
