HRS §414-463

Appealing a company's revoked license

A foreign corporation whose permission to do business in Hawaii was revoked can ask a court to review that decision. It must file its appeal within 30 days of the revocation certificate being signed. The court can order the license reinstated or take other action, and its final decision can be appealed like other civil cases.

The statute, as written — Appeal from revocation

(a) A foreign corporation may appeal the department director's revocation of its certificate of authority to the circuit court within thirty days after the certificate of revocation is signed. The foreign corporation appeals by petitioning the court to set aside the revocation and attaching to the petition copies of its certificate of authority and the department director's certificate of revocation. (b) The court may summarily order the department director to reinstate the certificate of authority or may take any other action the court considers appropriate. (c) The court's final decision may be appealed as in other civil proceedings.
