Background
Gene Arthur Leary, Jr., acting as trustee of the Edward J. Sax Family Protection Trust, was the claimant-appellee in an appeal brought by Robert’s Hawaii Inc. The appeal came from the Circuit Court of the First Circuit, Case No. 1CSP-23-0001192.
The Intermediate Court of Appeals issued an opinion on April 28, 2026. This order addresses corrections to that previously issued opinion; it does not resolve the merits of the underlying dispute anew.
The Court’s Holding
The court ordered two corrections to its April 28 opinion. First, it deleted the citation “[OB @ 20]” from page 9, line three from the bottom.
Second, it removed underlining from bracketed footnote 6 in a block quotation on page 12. The clerk was directed to notify publishing agencies of the changes.
Key Takeaways
- The order corrects the prior appellate opinion without altering a stated merits ruling.
- The page 9 record-reference notation “[OB @ 20]” is deleted.
- The formatting of bracketed footnote 6 on page 12 is corrected.
Why It Matters
The order identifies the corrected version of the April 28, 2026 opinion for citation and publication purposes. Lawyers relying on the opinion should use the corrected text.
