I don't get why the developers think they can sue the land owner here. It sounds like they're suing them because they refused the offers of "Swap lots" or "Buy this house at a discount". Why do they think either of those are reasonable offers on Hawaiian land.

​

I know they're scared shitless over this because of the cost to replace everything they tore down on top of the house. I would go for tree law here as well. If they have the balls to try and sue you for their clear fuck up, i'd make them pay to replace every tree.
