A Hawaii Statement of Claim and Notice (General Form) is a legal document that is used to initiate a civil lawsuit in the state of Hawaii. It is also known as a summons and complaint. The document is used to provide notice to the defendant, informing them of the lawsuit and the allegations against them. The Statement of Claim and Notice also outlines the rights of the plaintiff, such as the right to a jury trial and the right to recover damages. There are two types of Hawaii Statement of Claim and Notice (General Form): one for tort claims and one for contract claims. Both forms contain information about the plaintiff and defendant, the cause of action, and the relief sought.
