When the court directs entry of judgment in any case, the court shall order the prevailing party or the clerk to prepare such judgment of the court. When the clerk is ordered to prepare the judgment the clerk shall sign and enter it forthwith, unless directed by the court to submit the form of the judgment for the court's approval. The filing of the judgment in the office of the clerk constitutes the entry of the judgment; and the judgment is not effective before such entry. The entry of the judgment shall not be delayed for the taxing of costs.
Haw. Dis. Ct. R. Civ. P. 58
