How courts have described this case

Verbatim parenthetical descriptions written by other courts when citing this decision. Ranked by citation-network relevance.

describing a jurisdictional defect as one that precludes the court from \exercising criminal jurisdiction\
\[T]he failure of a charging 4 NOT FOR PUBLICATION IN WEST'S HAWAI#I REPORTS AND PACIFIC REPORTER instrument to allege an element of an offense does not constitute a jurisdictional defect that fails to confer subject-matter jurisdiction to the district court.\
“[W]here this court 22 *** FOR PUBLICATION IN WEST’S HAWAI‘I REPORTS AND PACIFIC REPORTER *** engages only in statutory construction to elucidate the meaning and application of specific provisions of a statute, we have held that a new rule does not arise.”
“[S]ubject-matter jurisdiction is fundamental to a court’s power to act on the merits of a case from the outset of the action; it may be challenged at any time, but jurisdiction does not vacillate during the course of a case depending on the particulars of the matter as it develops.”
