Haw. Prob. R. 2
ONE FORM OF ACTION
There shall be one form of action for any case to which these rules apply, which shall be known as a "proceeding."
COMMENTARY:
Regular civil cases and family court cases are referred to as "civil actions." The Uniform Probate Code generally refers to all actions thereunder as "proceedings." The use of the term "proceeding" would maintain consistency and help eliminate confusion as to proceedings under these rules as opposed to proceedings controlled by other procedural rules.
