PMK partnered with HUGS to sponsor two, socially distanced, Dad’s nights at the Old Spaghetti Factory on July 14th and 15th. HUGS is an organization that helps strengthen Hawaii’s families and improve their quality of life as they face the emotional and financial hardships of caring for a seriously ill child.
With the added hardships and stress from the global pandemic, the dads appreciated taking a safe break and spending time with others that they hadn’t seen in months. We are honored to provide these deserving parents a night for themselves and to support an organization that impacts many local families.

PMK attorneys Taylor W. Gray and Leo Y. Shimizu recently filed a Petition to Excuse Compliance with the Requirement for an Oahu-based Condominium Association’s Governing Documents. They argued that the 50% quorum requirement unreasonably interfered with the Association’s ability to carry out its functions as outlined in its governing documents.
The Association had unsuccessfully attempted to hold an annual meeting at quorum for the past three years (2018, 2019 and 2020).
The Court granted the motion, reducing the quorum requirement for annual meetings from 50% to a more attainable 35%. As a result, the Association will be able to move forward on important business, including the election of new directors.
The First Circuit Family Court will restart hearings as scheduled on May 18, 2020, as stated in the Second Amended Emergency Order #4 Regarding Family Court of the First Circuit, filed April 29, 2020. The hearings that were postponed this week will be rescheduled by the court.
Effective May 12, 2020 and until further notice, all family court calendars with the exception of Detention Home hearings and Temporary Restraining Order hearings are shut down. No hearings will be held, except DH and TRO hearings pending further instructions from the court on restarting.
