HRS §634-3
Suing a business by its firm name
If two or more people run a business under a firm name, they can be sued using that name. The lawsuit papers can be given to one or more of the owners, or as court rules allow. A judgment against the firm can be collected from the firm's property and from the personal property of owners who were served or appeared.
