Hawaiian Telcom bankruptcy proceedings moved to Honolulu

Advertiser Staff

Hawaiian Telcom Communications Inc.'s bankruptcy and related cases are being transfered from a bankruptcy court in Wilmington, Del., to Honolulu.

Judge Peter J. Walsh of the Wilmington bankruptcy court granted a motion moving the case to Hawai'i on Monday, noting it was in the best interest of the company, its creditors and others.

The company said requested the transfer earlier this month from Wilmington, where it filed for financial reorganization under bankruptcy laws on Dec. 1. The company is incorporated under Delaware laws.
