Haw. Fam. Ct. R. 40
ASSIGNMENT OF CASES FOR TRIAL; CONTINUANCE OF TRIAL
(a) Assignment of case for trial. The family courts shall provide by order for the placing of actions upon the trial calendar
(1) without request of the parties, or
(2) upon request of a party and notice to the other parties, or
(3) in such other manner as the courts deem expedient. Precedence shall be given to actions entitled thereto by statute.
(b) Motions for continuance. If a date has been assigned for trial of an action, a motion for continuance of the trial shall include on the first page of the notice of motion the trial date assigned and any previously assigned trial dates.
(c) Consent of party to continuance of trial. A motion for continuance of any assigned trial date, whether or not stipulated to by respective counsel, shall be granted only upon a showing of good cause, which shall include a showing that the client-party has consented to the continuance. Consent may be demonstrated by the client-party’s signature on a motion for continuance or by the personal appearance in court of the client-party. However, consent is not required if the client-party is a government agency.
