HRS §658A-27
Where to file arbitration motions
This section says where you must file a motion related to an arbitration agreement. You file in the circuit court where the arbitration hearing is set to happen, or where it already happened. If that doesn't apply, you can file where the other side lives or does business, or in any circuit in Hawaii if they don't.
