Regulations of the Courts Inspection of Court Files (2003); Form 2 (Regulation 4(c))

Request to Inspect Court File

1. Requester's Details
a) Full name: Joseph Zernik, PhD
b) ID No: 053625596
c) Address: PO Box 33407, Tel-Aviv
d) Telephone: None
2. Court File Details
a) Court File Number:
Supreme Court, File No 5515/11
b) Parties:
Ometz Movement v Attorney General, State Prosecutor et al
c) Records, which are subject of the request:
(1) Duly made Notice to Appear in Court for the February 14, 2017 hearing
(2) Duly made Hearing Protocol - for the February 14, 2017 hearing
3. Purpose and Justification for the Inspection
a) Instant Request is filed pursuant to the Regulations of the Courts, Inspection of Court
Files (2003) and Supreme Court decision in Association for Civil Rights in Israel v
Minister of Justice et al ( 5917/97).
b) The Requester has been engaged for years in academic research regarding IT systems of
the Israeli and US courts, and administration of public access to court records. His
research on such subjects has been published and presented in international academic
conferences in the relevant fields, subject to anonymous, international peer-review. His
reports on such subjects have been incorporated into UN Human Rights Council Reports
pertaining to the United States (2010) and Israel (2013), following the Council's
Professional Staff review.
c) The records, inspection of which is requested herein, are public court records, and instant
court file is not sealed. The hearing "protocol" was already published by media, but as an
unsigned, invalid record. Therefore, the question is raised: Was the hearing, referenced
above, a valid court hearing, or possibly an invalid hearing ("informal, off the record")?
d) Instant court file addresses issues that are at the foundation of the Rule of Law. Moreover,
the matter originates in the Roman Zadorov affair, of which Prof Mota Kremnitzer wrote:
"Conduct of the State Prosecution is scary when you add to it the stance of the Supreme
Court and conduct of the Attorney General in recent years, you are left with a justice
system that primarily protects itself". Therefore, instant court file holds the highest public
policy significance, and inspection of the record is vital for maintaining public trust in the
justice system.
4. Relationship of the Requester to the Court File (direct or indirect)
None, except for academic interest. The Requester inspected the Roman Zadorov file in the
Nazareth District Court and in the Supreme Court and filed a complaint with the UN
Working Group on Arbitrary Detention, pertaining to holding Zadorov in life imprisonment
with no duly made judgment records.
