HRS §286-60
District court appeals: rules, costs, and process
This section covers appeals from district court decisions. The state's highest court sets the rules, which must be simple and cheap. An appeal goes to the intermediate appellate court. The appeal costs $1, but the court can waive it for good reason. The county finance director never pays costs.
