How do I submit a request to the court for additional time in a small claims court case?

In order to submit a request for additional time in a small claims court case in Hawaii, you must file a motion for extension of time. This motion must be submitted to the court in advance of the hearing date in order to allow sufficient time for consideration. Depending on the court, the motion may be available online or you may need to contact the court in person or by phone to request a copy. The motion must include a brief description of the claim and the reasons why extra time is needed. Be sure to list the date requested and the court hearing date. The court may also require other additional information or supporting documents at the time of filing. Once the motion is filed, a judge will review the motion and decide whether or not to grant the request for extension. If the request is accepted, a new hearing date will be scheduled and sent to all parties involved in the case. It is recommended to file the motion for extension as soon as possible. This will leave time for consideration and allow you to prepare for the hearing. If the request is denied, the court will proceed with the original hearing date, so you must be prepared for that date.
