Molokoa Village Development Co. v. Kauai Electric Co.

OPINION OF THE COURT BY

KIDWELL, J.

In this action a real estate developer seeks reimbursement from an electric utility company of the costs of providing underground electric and telephone systems in a subdivision. A trial by the court resulted in a judgment for the plaintiff from which the defendant appeals. Although we conclude that the claim was established for recovery of such costs as were incurred for the electric system, we remand for redetermination of the amount for which the plaintiff is entitled to reimbursement.

Appellee (Molokoa) is a corporation formed by Edward K. Jensen (Jensen)…
