Who May Serve and How: HRCP Rule 4 in Kahuku
Kahuku cases fall in the First Circuit. For an individual, Rule 4(d)(1) lets the server give the summons and complaint to that person directly. If the person is out, the papers may go to someone of suitable age and discretion who lives at the dwelling house or usual place of abode. Or they may go to an agent authorized by appointment or law. Businesses are covered by Rule 4(d)(3).
The server then makes proof of service to the court under Rule 4(g), promptly and within the time allowed to respond. Rule 12(a)(1) usually gives a defendant 20 days after service to answer, unless a statute or court order sets another time.
