Hawaii Interrogatories to Defendant are a series of written questions that must be answered under oath by a defendant in a civil action in the state of Hawaii. They are used to obtaining information about the defendant's defenses, actions, or knowledge of the facts related to the case. There are two types of Hawaii Interrogatories to Defendant: Standard Interrogatories and Special Interrogatories. Standard Interrogatories are a set of questions prepared by the court, while Special Interrogatories are additional questions that are written by the plaintiff or their lawyer. Both sets of interrogatories must be answered in writing and under oath, and must be returned to the court within 30 days.
