HRS §421I-9

How disputes are mediated and arbitrated

If a dispute involves a shareholder and the corporation or other shareholders about the rules or documents, any party can ask for mediation first. If mediation fails, the dispute goes to arbitration, following the same rules used for condominiums.

The statute, as written — Mediation and arbitration of disputes

At the request of any party, any dispute concerning or involving one or more shareholders and a corporation, its board of directors, managing agent, resident manager, or one or more other shareholders relating to the interpretation, application, or enforcement of this chapter or the corporation's articles of incorporation, bylaws, or rules adopted in accordance with its bylaws shall be submitted first to mediation. When all reasonable efforts for mediation have been made and the dispute is not settled either in conference between the parties or through mediation, the dispute shall be submitted to arbitration in the same manner and subject to the same requirements, to the extent practicable, which now apply to condominiums under section 514B-162.
