The simulated litigation in the case of self-immolated, social protest activist Moshe Silman commenced in 2008 and was one of the earliest cases in Net HaMishpat - the Tel-Aviv District Court's first electronic record system. Was it just a coincidence? Survey of early cases in Net HaMishpat in the Tel-Aviv District Court leads to the conclusion that the case of Silman is not unique. The false records in Net HaMishpat document features, which must have never been permitted in the electronic record system of an honest court. The survey suggests that it was the transition itself, which made the fraud in court records of the Tel Aviv District Court so blatant in this case and other, perhaps even in the eyes of Moshe Silman himself. In the State of Israel, implementation of such systems was concluded only in recent years and their full impact is yet to be seen. Implementation of corrupt electronic record systems in the courts in the United States started in the mid-1980s and was mostly concluded over a decade ago. Today experts agree that the state and US courts experience corruption of historically unprecedented levels, which is central to the current socio-economic crisis.

Jerusalem, December 6 – in the opening lines of his last letter, the self-immolated, social protest activist Moshe Silman levels serious charges against the Tel-Aviv District Court and Magistrate Hagai Brenner. The electronic records of the Court indeed show that Silman was subjected to simulated processes in the Tel-Aviv District Court. The case of the Silman is also one of the earliest cases in Net HaMishpat - the Court's electronic case management system.
Is it only a coincidence?
In effort to address this question, Joseph Zernik, PhD, of Human Rights Alert (NGO), releases today preliminary survey of early electronic records from Net HaMishpat in the Tel Aviv District Court. The latest survey is part of ongoing study of the case of Moshe Silman and the electronic records of the courts of the State of Israel in general.
Although Net HaMishpat system dates back to 2003, the Tel-Aviv District Court was one of the last courts, where the system was implemented. In July 2008, Silman's electronic court file was opened, only a month after the system was launched in the Court. The case had been earlier opened, as a paper court file, under a fictitious file number, and was then transferred to Net HaMishpat, under a valid number in the current electronic index, but uploading in it invalid court records.
The data, released today, show abundance of erroneous and/or falsified court records among the early files of Net HaMishpat in the Tel Aviv District Court:
- Invalid, false index entries
- False, misfiled, and/or falsified decision records
- No visible, valid electronic signatures
False court records in the case of Silman v Bituach Leumi were previously reported:
- The original complaint was filed under a false case number.
- The July 10, 2008 Decision lists on its face the "Legal Unit" of the Court as the adjudicating authority, with neither the name nor the signature of the individual, who issued the record.
- The two November 19, 2009 Decisions by Magistrate Hagai Brenner are not authentic court records, but falsified court records.
Eventually, Magistrate Hagai Brenner affected the closing of Silman's complaint file. Pro tem District Judge Hagai Brenner affected the closing of the appeal, which originated in Magistrate Brenner's decision in this matter.
The data, released today, leads to the conclusion that the case of Moshe Silman is not unique. Other early cases in Net HaMishpat show similar, invalid court records.
Moreover, the data document features of Net HaMishpat system, which must have never been found in any honest court. The data also show how such features, once permitted, facilitate Fraud on the Court.
The transition of Silman's case and others' from simulated paper files to the electronic records, required replacement of older methods of simulated litigation (e.g., conducting process under invalid file numbers) with newer methods (e.g., filing invalid simulated decision records, bearing invisible electronic signatures, under valid index numbers).
Falsification of electronic court records in the Tel Aviv District Court was also documented last year in the case of Deputy Presiding Judge Vardah AlSheikh. Judge AlSheikh handles some of the largest cases of default by financial corporations in Israel in recent years.
The evidence suggests that it was the transition to Net HaMishpat itself, which made the fraud in court records of the Tel Aviv District Court so blatant in this case and others, perhaps even in the eyes of Moshe Silman himself.
The case of Moshe Silman, and other early records of Net HaMishpat in the Tel-Aviv District Court leads to the conclusion that while corruption was probably endemic in the Tel-Aviv District Court even before implementation of Net HaMishpat, the system amounts to the institution of the corruption in the Court.
In the State of Israel, transition of the courts to electronic records was completed only in recent years. Implementation of corrupt electronic record systems in the courts in the United States started in the mid-1980s, and was largely concluded by the early 2000s. Today, experts agree that the state and US courts experience levels of corruption that are historically unprecedented. The fraud in the state and US courts is particularly notable in cases involving financial institutions and is central to the current socio-economic crisis. (see quotes below)
The 2010 State of Israel Ombudsman's Report (60b) finds that two US-based corporations – IBM and EDS - were central to the contracting, development and implementation of Net HaMishpat in violation of the laws of the State of Israel.

בבית המשפט המחוזי בתל-אביב משה סילמן וכתבים אלקטרוניים (נט המשפט)
ההליכים למראית עין בעניינו של משה סילמן, ז"ל, החלו בשנת 2008 באחד התיקים הראשונים בנט המשפט – מערכת הכתבים האלקטרוניים הראשונה בבית המשפט המחוזי בתל-אביב. האם זהו רק צירוף מקרים? סקירה של התיקים הראשונים בנט המשפט בבית המשפט המחוזי בתל-אביב מובילה למסקנה שהטיפול בעניינו של סילמן לא היה יחיד במינו. הכתבים הכוזבים בנט המשפט גם מתעדים מאפיינים של המערכת, שאסור היה שיימצאו במערכת כתבים אלקטרוניים של בית משפט הוגן. הסקירה גם מציעה שהמעבר לנט המשפט רק הפך את הכתבים הכוזבים בבית המשפט בעניינם של משה סילמן ואחרים לגלויה יותר, כנראה גם למשה סילמן עצמו. התקנת המערכות האלקטרוניות בבתי המשפט בישראל הושלמה רק בשנים האחרונות ומלוא השפעתן על מערכת המשפט עדיין לא מוצתה. התקנת מערכות כתבים אלקטרוניים כוזבות בבתי המשפט בארה"ב החלה כבר באמצע שנות ה-80, והושלמה ברובה לפני יותר מעשור. מומחים מסכימים, שהיום רמת השחיתות בבתי המשפט בארה"ב חסרת תקדים היסטורי והיא גורם מרכזי במשבר החברתי-כלכלי שם.
ירושלים, ה-6 בדצמבר – בפתח מכתבו האחרון, מטיח משה סילמן, ז"ל, טענות קשות נגד בית המשפט המחוזי בתל-אביב ונגד הרשם חגי ברנר. הכתבים האלקטרוניים של בית המשפט אכן מראים, שסילמן היה קורבן להליכים למראית עין בבית המשפט המחוזי בתל-אביב. ההליכים בתיק משה סילמן היו גם מן הראשונים שטופלו בנט המשפט – מערכת הכתבים האלקטרוניים הראשונה של בית המשפט.
האם זהו רק צירוף מקרים?
בניסיון לענות על שאלה זאת, מפרסם היום דר' יוסף צרניק מסייג לזכויות האדם סקירה של תיקים ראשונים בנט המשפט בבית המשפט המחוזי בתל-אביב. סקירה זאת היא חלק ממחקר רחב ממדים לגבי תקינות הכתבים האלקטרוניים בבתי במשפט במדינת ישראל.
למרות שנט המשפט הותקנה לראשונה ב-2003, בית המשפט המחוזי בתל-אביב היה אחד האחרונים בו הוטמעה המערכת. ביולי 2008, נפתח התיק האלקטרוני במקרהו של סילמן רק חודש לאחר הפעלתה של המערכת בבית המשפט. המקרה נפתח קודם לכן כתיק נייר, תחת מספר תיק כוזב. ביולי 2008 הועבר התיק לנט המשפט תחת מספר תיק בר תוקף, אך נרשמו בו רק כתבים כוזבים.
הסקירה, שמתפרסמת היום, מראה כתבים כוזבים רבים בתיקים אחרים, מן הראשונים של נט המשפט בבית המשפט המחוזי בתל-אביב:
- מספרים כוזבים לתיקים
- כתבים כוזבים בתיקים
- העדר חתימות אלקטרוניות גלויות ונראות
כתבים כוזבים בתיקים הקשורים למשה סילמן פורסמו כבר בעבר:
- כתב התובענה המקורי נרשם תחת מספר תיק נייר כוזב.
- ההחלטה הראשונה בתיק הנייר הכוזב, מיום ה-10 ביולי, 2008, הונפקה בשם "המחלקה המשפטית" ללא שם המחליט, סמכותו, או חתימתו.
- הכתבים המופיעים היום במערכת כשתי כתבי החלטות של הרשם חגי ברנר מיום ה-19 בנובמבר, 2009, אינם כתבים אמתיים של בית המשפט, אלא כתבים כוזבים.
בסופו של דבר גרם הרשם חגי ברנר לסגירתו של תיק התובענה המקורי של משה סילמן. השופט המחוזי בפועל חגי ברנר גרם לסגירת הערעור מהחלטתו של הרשם חגי ברנר בעניין זה.
הסקירה המתפרסמת היום מצביעה על כך שהטיפול בעניינו של משה סילמן לא היה יחיד במינו. תיקים אחרים בנט המשפט בבית המשפט המחוזי בתל-אביב כוללים כתבים כוזבים דומים.
יתרה מכך, הסקירה מתעדת מאפיינים של מערכת נט המשפט, שאסור היה שיימצאו במערכת הכתבים האלקטרוניים של בית משפט הוגן. הממצאים בסקירה גם מראים כיצד מאפיינים אלה, לאחר שהותקנו, מסייעים לניהול הליכים למראית עין ומרמה בבית המשפט.
העברת תיק סילמן ותיקים אחרים מתיקי נייר למראית עין לתיקים אלקטרוניים בנט המשפט חייבה את החלפתן של שיטות ישנות לניהול הליכים למראית עין (לדוגמה – ניהול הליכים תחת מספר תיק כוזב) בשיטות חדשות (לדוגמה – תיוק כתבים כוזבים, ושימוש בחתימות אלקטרוניות בלתי נראות).
כיזוב כתבים אלקטרוניים בבית המשפט המחוזי בתל-אביב תועדה בשנה שעברה גם במקרה של סגנית הנשיאה, השופטת ורדה אלשייך. השופטת אלשייך מטפלת בשנים האחרונות בכמה מן המקרים הגדולים בישראל של חידלון חובות ציבוריים של תאגידים פיננסיים.
הראיות מצביעות על כך שהמעבר לנט המשפט עצמו, הפך את הכתבים הכוזבים בבית המשפט בעניינם של משה סילמן ואחרים לגלויה יותר, כנראה גם למשה סילמן עצמו.
המקרה של משה סילמן וכתבים מתיקים ראשונים מנט המשפט בבית המשפט המחוזי בתל-אביב מובילים למסקנה שבשעה ששחיתות בבית המשפט הייתה נפוצה גם לפני הנהגת נט המשפט, התקנת המערכת מגלמת את מיסודה של השחיתות.
במדינת ישראל הסתיים המעבר למערכות כתבים אלקטרוניים בבתי המשפט רק בשנים האחרונות. התקנתם של מערכות דומות בבתי המשפט בארצות הברית החלה כבר באמצע שנות ה-80 ורובה הסתיימה כבר בראשית שנות ה-2000. היום, מסכימים מומחים שרמת השחיתות בבתי המשפט בארצות הברית הגיעה לרמה חסרת תקדים היסטורי. המרמה בבתי המשפט בארצות הברית התפרסמה במיוחד במקרים הנוגעים לתאגידים פיננסיים, והיא גורם מרכזי במשבר החברתי-כלכלי שם. (ראה מובאות להלן).
דו"ח מבקר המדינה לשנת 2010 (60ב) מוצא ששתי חברות שבסיסן בארצות הברית – יבמ ואי.די.אס - היו מעורבות בחוזים לפיתוח והתקנת נט המשפט בבתי המשפט המחוזיים בניגוד לחוקי מדינת ישראל.
