Haw. Rev. Stat. § 651-34

Current through Act 7 of the 2024 Legislative Session

Section 651-34 - Time within which execution shall be returnable

All executions and alias executions issued by or from any court shall be made returnable within sixty days from the date thereof.

HRS § 651-34

CC 1859, §1018; am L 1917, c 16, §1; RL 1925, §2438; RL 1935, §4137; RL 1945, §10164; RL 1955, § 233-33; HRS § 651-34; am L 1970, c 188, §39

A writ of execution cannot properly be levied after the return day; once the return day of an execution passes, it becomes functus officio and confers no authority on the officer to whom it is directed; correlatively, a levy accomplished after the return day is invalid and a sale based thereon is void. 102 H. 518, 78 P.3d 331.
