HRS §658J-18
When a court can fix an arbitration award
This section lets a party ask the court to fix an arbitration award if it has a clear math error, a mistake in a name or description, a form problem, or covers a dispute that was not submitted. The request must be made within 90 days after the arbitrator gives notice of the award. The court can also confirm the corrected award unless another motion is pending.
