An 83-year-old widow reaches a settlement with the City and County of Honolulu after the city imposed a large fine tied to an advertising violation that it says resulted from a website glitch. According to reports, Honolulu assessed the penalty as $10,000 per day, leading to a total fine reported as $590,000. The fine stems from circumstances where the city’s website malfunction allegedly caused an error related to the advertising matter, and the city moved to enforce the penalty despite the origin being attributed to the glitch. The dispute escalated to the point that Honolulu placed a lien on the woman’s home, which she has owned for about 56 years. The settlement resolves the matter, though the reports provided here do not specify the settlement terms, the final amount paid, or whether the lien is removed. The case highlights a conflict between administrative enforcement actions and claims that a technical issue contributed to the underlying violation.
