Terms Used In Hawaii Revised Statutes 431:10C-214

  • Equitable: Pertaining to civil suits in "equity" rather than in "law." In English legal history, the courts of "law" could order the payment of damages and could afford no other remedy. See damages. A separate court of "equity" could order someone to do something or to cease to do something. See, e.g., injunction. In American jurisprudence, the federal courts have both legal and equitable power, but the distinction is still an important one. For example, a trial by jury is normally available in "law" cases but not in "equity" cases. Source: U.S. Courts
  • Motor vehicle: means any vehicle of a type required to be registered under chapter 286, including a trailer attached to such a vehicle, but not including motorcycles and motor scooters. See Hawaii Revised Statutes 431:10C-103
(2) Adopt, amend and repeal such rules, pursuant to chapter 91, as the commissioner deems necessary to carrying out and fulfilling the purposes of this article, and to establishing standards for the prompt, fair and equitable disposition of all claims arising out of motor vehicle accidents; and
(3) Appoint such personnel as necessary for the performance of the commissioner’s functions under this article. All personnel appointed under this section shall be subject to chapter 76.
