Justice Minister Yariv Levin Extends State of Emergency in Courts
During a hearing held today in the Knesset Constitution Committee regarding the activity of the courts during the Iron Swords War, it was reported that Justice Minister Yariv Levin extended the state of emergency in the courts by three weeks until the end of November.
In addition to this decision, the court administration has also decided on a policy of returning to “emergency routine”. This policy aims for a gradual return to routine, taking into account the time constraints of all entities and strategic partners, and the need to act with extreme sensitivity towards the litigants and their powerlessness. The policy includes a significant expansion of the types of hearings that can be heard at this time and an almost complete activation of the judicial courts.
This decision has significant implications for the judicial system and the ongoing legal proceedings in the country. It marks a shift in approach amidst the ongoing conflict, allowing for a more comprehensive and active participation in the judicial process.
As the state of emergency in the courts is extended, it is clear that the legal system is adapting to the unique circumstances brought about by the Iron Swords War. This decision reflects the commitment to ensuring access to justice and fairness for all individuals involved in legal proceedings during this time of crisis.
