Song v. Mansell

Summary

The Intermediate Court of Appeals of Hawaiʻi affirmed an order granting Jill Song's petition for an injunction against harassment as to Michael Mansell. The court declined to address two alleged errors because they were not supported by the appellate record and held that Mansell failed to demonstrate a basis for overturning the injunction, where the hearing transcript was absent and the record appeared to contain supporting evidence.

Holdings

1. The appellate court declined to address the issues because the hearing transcript was not part of the record and the record did not show that the issues were raised, argued, or considered in the district court.
2. The court affirmed the injunction because Mansell failed to provide a record establishing error or identify evidence showing that the district court lacked substantial evidence to support the injunction.

Questions Presented

1. Whether the appellate court could review Mansell's claims concerning alleged harassment and improper representation by Song's attorney when the hearing transcript was absent and the record did not show that those issues were raised or considered below.
2. Whether substantial evidence supported the district court's injunction against harassment.

Disposition

affirmed
