HRS §661-8
When interest is paid on a court claim
This section says that a court will not add interest to a claim before it makes a decision, unless the contract says interest must be paid, or the claim is a refund from the litigated claims fund. It only covers interest up to the judgment date.

The statute, as written — Interest
No interest shall be allowed on any claim up to the time of the rendition of judgment thereon by the court, unless upon a contract expressly stipulating for the payment of interest, or upon a refund of a payment into the "litigated claims fund" as provided by law.
