Case Notes
Where plaintiff office of Hawaiian affairs brought suit in its own corporate name under §10-16, rather than as an agency of the State on behalf of the people of the State, §657-1.5 did not exempt plaintiff from the statute of limitations for bringing a suit under this section. 110 H. 338, 133 P.3d 767.
