The 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, where the plaintiff is seeking monetary damages. It is a written statement in which the plaintiff sets out the facts and legal basis of the claim against the defendant(s). The document must also include a Notice of Place and Time of Hearing, along with the date and time of the hearing. The Statement of Claim and Notice must be filed with the court and served upon the defendant in order for the lawsuit to proceed. There are two types of Hawaii Statement of Claim and Notice (General Form): the Complaint Form and the Petition Form. The Complaint Form is used when the plaintiff is seeking money damages and the Petition Form is used when the plaintiff is seeking an order from the court, such as an injunction or an order of protection. Both forms must include the same basic information, including the parties involved, the facts of the case, the legal basis for the claim, and the requested relief.
