12-10-11 Human Right Alert's Appendix IV to Submission; 15th UPR Working Group Session (Jan-Feb 2013): State of Israel

Integrity, or lack thereof, in the electronic record systems in the courts of the State of Israel ~A court, which refuses to certify its own records, is certified corrupt~ -----

12-10-11 Appendix IV the case of the late Moshe Silman

In July 2012, social activist Moshe Silman self-immolated during social protest in Tel Aviv. The opening lines of his suicide letter accuse the Tel Aviv District Court of obstructing his access to justice. Review of the records of the Court reveals conduct of simulated litigation, involving judges, clerks, and attorneys in the Tel Aviv District Court and in the Supreme Court of the State of Israel. Attempts continue to access court records, to inspect and to copy. In handling such requests, the District Court continues to engage in simulated service of simulated decisions.

The case of the late Moshe Silman involves a number of judges and clerks in the Tel Aviv District Court, a retired Judge, as a lawyer for the social security administration, Supreme Court clerks, and a Supreme Court magistrate, among others. The following is an interim summary with links to relevant records, which are all posted online. Most of the records in this case are still missing: 1. Magistrate/Pro Tem District Judge Hagai Brenner, of the Tel Aviv District Court, is yet to provide valid service of a valid decision on his own disqualification for a cause. 2. The District Court is yet to permit access to court records to inspect and to copy. 3. The Clerk of the District Court is yet to provide certified copies of an unsigned, unauthenticated order, received by mail from the office of the Clerk of the District Court, in response to Request that explicitly asked for due service and notice of judicial records by the District Court. 4. The Clerk of the District Court is yet to provide certified copies of decisions, which were published online in the cases of Moshe Silman.

5. The Social Security administration has failed to respond by the time provided by law, regarding requests for documentation of the authorization of Frish as Attorney of Record for the Social Security Administration in this case. 6. The law office of Judge (Ret) Sarah Frish, has so far refused to respond on request, pertaining to service of court records, regarding its authorization as Attorneys of Record for the Social Security Administration in this case. Concern should be raised that beyond the conduct of simulated litigation in the District Court in this case, the Social Security Administration and the law office of Judge (Ret) Sarah Frish engaged in court appearances of unauthorized attorneys. Such conduct has been repeatedly been documented in the state and federal courts in the United States, as inherent to the current "Foreclosure Crisis". [1] The Human Rights Alert (NGO) submission for the 2013 Universal Periodic Review of Human Rights in Israel is titled: Integrity, or lack thereof, of the electronic record systems of the courts of the State of Israel. The submission documented the invalidity of Net HaMishpat, the current electronic record system of the district courts. The submission also documented the refusal of the Administration of Courts and the Ministry of Justice to respond on requests, pursuant to the Freedom of Information Act (1988), for the appointment records of the Chief Clerks of the District Courts of the State of Israel.

November 19, 2009 - first appearance of a record by Brenner in the case - Decision - denying the Request for Waiver of Fees and ordering Dismissal of the Complaint. The electronic Public Records fail to show valid court records for the Decision and the Protocol, and the Proceeding is not listed in the Calendar of the Court. The local terminal records explicitly state the proceeding, presided by Hagai Brenner on that date "did not take place." The Protocol lists an unknown "Bracha" as Attorney for Bituach Leumi. The records conflict on the date of issuance of the Order in the presence or the absence of the parties.

The Order clarifies the double-hat nature of Brenner's appointment in the Tel-Aviv-Jaffa District Court.

Silman v Social Security Administration in the Tel Aviv District Court In July 2012, Moshe Silman, a social activist, self-immolated in a Tel Aviv protest. The opening lines of this suicide letter accused the Tel Aviv District Court, where he sued the social security administration, of obstructing his access to justice. Initial attempts to access the records of the Tel Aviv District Court have been unsuccessful so far. However, in the process it was discovered that: The complaint and initial decision in this case were filed under a court file number that now the office of the Clerk of the Court says never existed; None of the published decisions are signed, instead, simulated, Post-it Decisions were issued; Judge Brenner affected the dismissal of the original complaint, and then denied an appeal from his own decision.

transparent text box at the upper left, superimposed on the request record. The purported Decision says: "For response by parties and their heirs within 21 days. Service in person by the Requester".The Request record explicitly asked the Tel Aviv Districtr Court for due service of court decisions in the matter (access to inspect and to copy).

Furthermore, while Silman's attorney immediately confirmed that he was the authorized Attorney of Record of the Plaintiff, the office of a retired judge, who appeared on behalf of the social security administration, refused to confirm or deny that it was authorized as Attorney of Record for the Defendant. Likewise, the social security administration refused to respond on a Freedom of Information Act request, for the authorization record of the Attorney for social security. Conduct of the social security administration and its attorneys should raise concern of appearance by unauthorized attorneys, a common practice of financial insittutions in the United States, which has been repeatedly documented during the current crisis. [2] Multiple, different, parallel "court files" in Net HaMishapt the electronic record system of the District Courts No access has been gained so far to the Tel Aviv District Court files in the case of Moshe Silman. Attempts to gain such access have shown that the Tel-Aviv court established the following, materially different court files, in violation of the law: 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. Paper court file; Court file as seen from a remote public terminal; Court file as seen from a local public terminal in the Court; Court file as seen in the terminals of the office of the Clerk; Court file as seen by the judges?

Silman v Social Security Administration in the Supreme Court The case of Moshe Silman originated in the Decision of Hagai Brenner in the Tel Aviv District Court (see below). The Appeal was initially filed with the Supreme Court as the review court. In the Supreme Court, the Appeal was dismissed, for being filed with the incorrect instance. The Decision, published online unsigned and uncertified, explains that Hagai Brenner wears two hat, one of a Magistrate and the other of a pro tem District Judge. Since the Decision was by Brenner in his hat of Magistrate, the review court is the Tel Aviv District Court itself. Consequently, Silman's attorney filed the appeal in the Tel Aviv District Court, where the appeal was purportedly assigned to Brenner in his hat of pro tem District Judge and denied. Regardless of the legal content of the Supreme Court's decision, the case document the conduct of simulated proceedings in the Supreme Court, originating from simulated decision of a lower court. Neither the Supreme Court, nor any other court, has jurisdiction over appeals from simulated court decisions or judgments. The fact that a file for an appeal was even opened, shows failure in integrity of the office of the Clerk of the Supreme Court. The Clerk of the Supreme Court should have declined to accept the filing of such appeal, and instead, upon realizing the nature of the records and the conduct of the Tel Aviv District Court, should have informed others, in order to initiate corrective actions.

The case of Silman v Social Security Administration in the Supreme Court documents the integrated actions of the information systems of the Supreme and Tel Aviv District Court. From criminological perspective, the conduct of simulated litigation and publication and service of fraudulent judicial records is deemed Organized State Crime. LINKS:
