HRS §661-8
When interest is paid on a court claim
Read the official text at capitol.hawaii.gov ↗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.
