HRS §414D-251
Appealing a denial of reinstatement
If the state refuses to bring your dissolved corporation back to life, they must mail you a letter saying why. You can ask a court to overturn that refusal, but you must act quickly and include certain papers. The court decides what happens next, and you can appeal its decision like any other civil case.
