This witness is expected to testify regarding the following entries in Steven Guttman’s Declaration in Support of Claimant’s Request for Fees and Costs, received on September 2, 2004:
01/26/04
WI RVW BH LTR TO AON INSURANCE
SG TC FROM BEN MATSUBARA RE WITNESS TESTIMONY
SG REVIEW BNH LTRS TO AON
Benjamin M. Matsubara, Esq. had many connections with the arbitration case:
> Benjamin Matsubara is the court-appointed Master for Kamehameha Schools/Bishop Estate;
> Benjamin Matsubara was the recipient of several of the letters in my “letter-writing campaign” - which was an issue in the arbitration;
> Benjamin Matsubara has been the attorney for Alexander & Baldwin, Ltd. (A&B) in major land use cases on Maui, and other areas, representing them before the Hawaii Land Use Commission (LUC) and Maui County Planning Commission, for which Arbitrator Judith Neustadter Fuqua, is a hearing officer.
> Benjamin Matsubara was one of Respondent’s named witnesses at the time of this phone conversation.
Since Steven Guttman’s time sheets do not provide details about what was discussed during this conversation, Mr. Matsubara will be expected to describe the purpose and content of this telephone contact. Regardless of the purpose, however, I maintain that the fact that Benjamin Matsubara directly contacted Steven Guttman to discuss his witness testimony was an improper breach of ethics and fair dealing.
