Rule 6 Computation of Time; No Enlargement

Here's a plain English summary of this rule:

When you're counting days for deadlines in these foreclosure cases, you follow the same counting method used in regular civil court cases (Hawai'i Rules of Civil Procedure, Rule 6). This tells you how to count days, what happens when a deadline falls on a weekend or holiday, and similar basic counting rules.

The big difference is that you cannot get more time, even if you ask. In regular civil cases, courts often let people request extensions if they need more time to file paperwork or respond to something. That option does not exist here. Once a deadline is set, it stays fixed.

This means anyone involved in a non-judicial foreclosure conversion case needs to watch deadlines closely and act right away. Waiting too long or hoping for extra time could cause you to miss an important deadline, and there's no way to fix that after the fact.
