HRS §651-32
How a district court orders payment of a judgment
When someone wins a civil case in district court, the judge must issue an execution order against the losing party's property if asked, unless the case is being appealed. The order can follow the court's usual form and can be given to a police officer in the same circuit, but only if the person who lost lives there.
