I promised back in this post to digest the Hawaii Supreme Court’s opinion in Colony Surf, Ltd. v. Director of the Dep’t of Planning and Permitting, No 26037 (Dec. 26, 2007). However, because the opinion is so opaque it is difficult to understand, and the issue so narrow, I never quite got around to doing so.
Professor Patty Salkin saves the day by posting a summary of the decision here on her Law of the Land blog.
