Granger v. Gov't Emples. Ins. Co., NO. 25457, SUPREME COURT OF HAWAI'I, August 9, 2006, Decided
View this case - free  

Overview: Summary judgment for UIM insurer was error because once insurer withheld its consent to other motorist's settlement offer, insurer must pay the insured the settlement amount in order to protect its subrogation rights. Purposes of Wash. Rev. Code § 431:10C-301(b)(4) would be subverted if insured were forced to go to trial or forfeit her UIM rights.

State v. Cuthrell, NO. 25706, SUPREME COURT OF HAWAI'I, August 9, 2006, Decided
View this case - free  

Overview: Challenge to sentence of probation was dismissed as moot because defendant's resentencing imposed a mandatory minimum term of imprisonment of one year and eight months, the remedy sought by the prosecution, and it could hardly be said that the question of which statute took precedence "evaded review."

View this case - free  

Overview: In a theft case, consecutive sentences, Haw. Rev. Stat. § 706-668.5, were proper because defendant stole $ 1.3 million from a financially strapped city, and defendant effected a complicated scheme through the manipulation of others and at the profound and unrecoverable expense of taxpayers; while stern, the sentence furthered penological goals.

State v. Kekuewa, No. 27248, INTERMEDIATE COURT OF APPEALS OF HAWAI'I, August 10, 2006, Decided
View this case - free  

Overview: In a DUI case, defendant's motion to dismiss should have been granted due to a defective charge; the five-year time period omitted from the oral charge was a critical part of the Haw. Rev. Stat. § 291E-61(b)(2) attendant circumstance, one with special resonance in light of defendant's several prior DUI convictions.

View this case - free

Thus, the claim was time-barred under Haw. Rev. Stat. § 386-89 (1993).
