§658A-27 Venue. A motion pursuant to section 658A-5 shall be made in the court of the circuit in which the agreement to arbitrate specifies the arbitration hearing is to be held or, if the hearing has been held, in the court of the circuit in which it was held. Otherwise, the motion may be made in the court of any circuit in which an adverse party resides or has a place of business or, if no adverse party has a residence or place of business in this State, in the court of any circuit in this State. All subsequent motions shall be made in the court hearing the initial motion unless the court otherwise directs. [L 2001, c 265, pt of §1]
Case Notes
The first circuit court did not err in finding that it was the proper venue for the proceedings to confirm the arbitration award where, inter alia, the collective bargaining agreement provided that the arbitrator had the authority to fix the date, time and place of the hearing, and the judge determined that the arbitration was properly held in Honolulu where the arbitrator was located. 125 H. 476 (App.), 264 P.3d 655 (2011).
