Hawaii Stipulation For Continuance (SF-60) is a type of court order used in the state of Hawaii to extend a civil case beyond the normal four-month limit. It is designed to allow parties additional time to prepare for trial or to work out an agreement, without having to go through the full trial process. The stipulation must be signed by both parties, or their attorneys, and filed in the court in which the case is pending. There are two types of Hawaii Stipulation For Continuance: indefinite and definite. An indefinite stipulation provides for an indefinite extension of the existing court order, allowing the case to remain open until a settlement is reached or the case is dismissed. A definite stipulation sets a specific date for the continuation of the case, usually up to one year. The court may extend the period of the stipulation if both parties agree.
