Haw. Fam. Ct. R. 65

(a) Reserved.

(b) Restraining order; notice; hearing; duration. Except as provided in HRS §580-10.5, a restraining order may be granted without notice to the adverse party when it clearly appears from specific facts shown by affidavit or declaration or by the verified complaint that immediate relief to the applicant is appropriate. Every restraining order granted without notice shall be filed with the court and entered in the record, shall be accompanied by an appropriate application for further relief, shall be set for a prompt hearing, and shall be served forthwith upon any party or parties affected by the order. It shall continue in effect until further order of the court. Upon notice to the party who obtained the restraining order without notice, the adverse party may move to advance the hearing.

(c) Security. In all cases, the court, on granting a restraining order or at any time thereafter, may require security or impose such other equitable terms as it deems proper. No such security shall be required of the State or a county, or an officer or agency of the State or a county.

The provisions of Rule 65.1 of these Rules apply to a surety upon a bond or undertaking under this Rule.

(d) Form and scope of restraining order. Every restraining order shall set forth the reasons for its issuance; shall be specific in terms; shall describe in reasonable detail, and not by reference to the complaint or other document, the act or acts sought to be restrained; and is binding only upon the parties to the action, their officers, agents, servants, employees, and attorneys (to the extent stated in the order), and upon those persons in active concert or participation with them who receive actual notice of the order by personal service or otherwise.

(e) Reserved.
