HRS §658J-17
How an arbitrator can fix a mistake in an award
Read the official text at capitol.hawaii.gov ↗This section lets a party ask the arbitrator to fix certain mistakes in an award within 30 days after the arbitrator tells them about it. The arbitrator can correct math errors, wrong names or descriptions, or small formatting issues, and can clarify the award. It only covers corrections, not changing the decision.
