HRS §658D-6
Agreeing to arbitrate in Hawaii means courts can act
If you take part in arbitration in Hawaii, or sign a written agreement to arbitrate here under this law, you agree that Hawaii's circuit courts can make decisions about that arbitration. This only applies to the arbitration itself, not other matters.
The statute, as written — Consent to jurisdiction
Conducting arbitration in this State, or making a written agreement to arbitrate which provides for arbitration within this State subject to this chapter, shall constitute a consent by the parties to that arbitration or undertaking to the exercise of in personam jurisdiction by the circuit courts of this State but only for the purposes of such arbitration.
