HRS §712-1273
Fast court hearing for nuisance lawsuits
This section says that when someone sues about a nuisance, the court must hear that case before most other cases. Only criminal cases, election contests, and injunction hearings go first. In the lawsuit, the court can consider evidence about the building's reputation and any threats or use of violence.

The statute, as written — Suit to have precedence
The suit when brought shall have precedence over all cases, excepting criminal proceedings, election contests, and hearings on injunctions, and in the suit evidence of the general reputation of the building, premises, place, or persons, and of the use or threat of violence shall be admissible for the purpose of proving the existence of the nuisance.
