HRS §604-6
When a district court can handle an eviction case
This section says a district court can handle an eviction case if the ownership of the property is not an issue at trial. If the defendant does not show up or the plaintiff proves they have the right to possess the property, the court must order the plaintiff to get the property back. Court rules control any delay of that order.

The statute, as written — Ejectment proceedings
Nothing in section 604-5 shall preclude a district court from taking jurisdiction in ejectment proceedings where the title to real estate does not come in question at the trial of the action. If the defendant is defaulted or if on the trial it is proved that the plaintiff is entitled to the possession of the premises, the court shall give judgment for the plaintiff and shall issue a writ of possession. The rules of court shall govern the stay of a writ of possession.
