Hawaii Supreme Court December 7, 1990, NO. 14315 (Stafford v. MTL, Inc.)

*645OPINION OF THE COURT BY

LUM, C.J.

This court is compelled sua sponte to rule that the trial court violated our holding in Liu v. City & County, 63 Haw. 668, 634 P.2d 595 (1981), and abused its discretion in granting an interlocutory appeal after denying Appellant MTL, Inc.’s Motion for Summary Judgment. We therefore reverse and remand.
