ROH §27-1.8

How to interpret this chapter's rules

Read the official text at honolulu.gov ↗

This section tells judges and officials to read the chapter broadly so its goals are met. Small mistakes or missed steps by city workers won't cancel a special improvement project or its cost charges, as long as the city still had the legal power to order it.
