Update: the briefs are posted here.
In a case we’ve been following involving the Koa Ridge Makai residential housing project on Oahu, the Hawaii Supreme Court yesterday issued an order accepting the Sierra Club’s application for a writ of certiorari in Sierra Club v. Castle & Cooke Homes Hawaii, Inc., No. SCWC-11-0000625.
In the opinion being reviewed, the Intermediate Court of Appeals held that the Hawaii Senate’s failure to confirm a sitting Land Use Commissioner for a second term did not disqualify him from office under Haw. Rev. Stat. § 26-34(a).
Oooh, quo warranto. Stay tuned.
