Terms Used In Hawaii Revised Statutes 641-18

  • 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 in any criminal cause an order suspending the imposition or execution of the sentence is entered by a district or circuit court, the order shall for the purposes of appeal be deemed a final judgment and the time within which to perfect any appeal in any such cause shall commence to run from the entry thereof.
