Terms Used In Hawaii Revised Statutes 147-60

  • Appeal: A request made after a trial, asking another court (usually the court of appeals) to decide whether the trial was conducted properly. To make such a request is "to appeal" or "to take an appeal." One who appeals is called the appellant.

Whenever any quantity of any food product has been inspected and certified hereunder and a question arises as to whether the certificate issued therefor shows the true grade, classification, quality, or conditions of the product, any interested person, subject to such regulations as the department of agriculture may prescribe, may appeal the question to the board of agriculture, and the board may cause such investigation to be made and such tests to be applied as it may deem necessary and determine and issue a finding as to the true grade or classification of the product or the quality or condition thereof. Whenever an appeal is taken to the board under this section it shall charge, assess, and collect, or cause to be collected, a reasonable fee, to be fixed by the board, which shall be refunded if the appeal is sustained.
