Haw. Rev. Stat. § 659-6
Current through the 2024 Legislative Session
If a person to whom an order is directed with respect to an office of which the person performs the duties does not answer within the time allowed or the answer is insufficient or it is found that the person has usurped the office or continues in it unlawfully, the court in addition to declaring the person not qualified to fill the office and forbidding the person to perform the duties of the office any longer, may direct that a new appointment be made and may grant other appropriate relief.
If the proceeding is commenced by verified petition of the attorney general and concerns a public office, the respondent shall have the burden of proof.
