  • Commission: means the crime victim compensation commission established by this chapter. See Hawaii Revised Statutes 351-2
  • Jurisdiction: (1) The legal authority of a court to hear and decide a case. Concurrent jurisdiction exists when two courts have simultaneous responsibility for the same case. (2) The geographic area over which the court has authority to decide cases.
(b) Any person aggrieved by an order or decision of the commission on the sole ground that the order or decision was in excess of the commission’s authority or jurisdiction, shall have a right of appeal to the circuit court of the circuit in which the person resides; provided the appeal is filed within thirty days after mailing of an original or a certified copy of the order or decision to the applicant’s last known address. Except as otherwise provided in this section, orders and decisions of the commission shall be conclusive and not subject to judicial review.
