Rule 12 Content of the Notice of Electronic Filing

When someone files a document electronically in a Hawaiʻi court case, the system automatically sends out a notice letting people know it happened. This rule spells out exactly what that notice has to say.

The notice tells you the case number and case name, when the document was filed, what type of case it is, and what documents were submitted (both the main document and any supporting paperwork). It also gives you a link to view the filing through the court's electronic filing system, and reminds you to keep checking your email for updates.

Finally, the notice lists two groups of people: those who already got the notice by email, and those who still need to be served the old-fashioned way (by mail, in person, or another method allowed by the rules). This second list matters because not everyone in a case is set up to receive electronic notices, so the court needs to make sure those people still get properly informed about the filing through traditional means.
