The judiciary web site has posted the recording of the November 10, 2009 Intermediate Court of Appeals oral arguments in Maunalua Bay Beach Ohana 28 v. State of Hawaii, No. 28175 (HAWICA) here (caution, it is a massive 88 MB mp3 file).
The issue in the case is whether the state, or littoral landowners, are entitled toownership of certain accreted lands. In “Act 73,” (codifed here and here)the legislature declared that shoreline land naturally accreted belongsto the State of Hawaii and is public property. More about thearguments, including the briefs, here. Disclosure: we filed an amicus brief supporting the property owners, available here.
