RE:
Urgent request for clarification by Aharon Barak regarding his role
as Presiding Justice in establishing the “Drafts” system
Your
response within 7 days is kindly requested. Time is of the essence!
Dear
Mr Segal and Mr Peled:
I‘ve
noticed an Ometz (“citizens for valid administration and social and
legal justice”) publication, pertaining to an honor to be bestowed
on Mr Aharon Barak. [1]
As
is well known, Mr Aharon Barak is a controversial figure, and it is
doubted that bestowing an honor on such person fits the stated
mission of the Ometz Movement.
In
order to clarify this issue, I would be grateful if you obtain from
Mr Aharon Barak a response on a matter, where he was a central
figures (as former Presiding Justice of the Supreme Court ). [2]
It is also a matter where Mr Barak and others - Mr Boaz Okon
(Magistrate of the Supreme Court and substitute to Chief Clerk
Shmaryahu Cohen, after the latter passed away), Asher Grunis and
Miriam Naor (inquiries during their tenure as Presiding Justices) and
the Administration of Courts (requests pursuant to the Freedom of
Information Act) - persistently refuse to say a word:
Under
whose authority were profound changes introduced in March 2002 in
templates of all Supreme Court decision records, and what was the
legal foundation for such changes?
Such
changes included the removal of the certification, “True Copy of
the Original”, removal of any reference to a “Chief Clerk”, or
his name, and addition of the disclaimer: “Subject to editing and
phrasing changes”.
Such
changes are perceived by experts as central evidence for undermining
the validity and integrity of all Israeli Supreme Court records. [3]
Effectively, all Israeli Supreme Court records were converted into
“Drafts”.
The
“Drafts” system, whose patron in Israel is likely to be Aharon
Barak, was again in the news recently, relative to Even Israel LTD v
Shulman et al (1554/16).
[4]
As reported by media, in this case, in parallel to removal of the
“Draft” from the electronic record systems, the original paper
decision record was unlawfully removed from the paper court file.
This phenomenon – perversion (“fabrication”) of records in the
electronic system, and in parallel their disappearance from the
paper court files was documented also in Amos Baranes v State of
Israel (3032/99), in Judith Franco-Sidi v Authority pursuant
to the Handicapped by Nazi persecution Act (1582/02),
and more. [5]
The
“Drafts” system was also the at the foundation of the Judge Varda
Alshech “Fabricated Protocols” scandal. However, the Israel Bar
Association, the Administration of Courts, and the Ombudsman of the
Judiciary colluded in hiding this part of the scandal from public
knowledge… [6]
The
“Drafts” system is well-known worldwide as an integral part of
criminal conduct of judges and court presonnel - simulating legal
process. On the other hand, as documented by the Judge Varda Alshech
and the Hila Cohen affairs, Israeli judges and the law enforcement
system treat such fraud by judges as non-criminal conduct. [7]
The
“Drafts” system and simulating court process are known worldwide
as local, sporadic form of corruption. The unique case of Israel
shows an epidemic of such corruption, originating at the top – then
Presiding Justice of the Supreme Court Aharon Barak.
The
resulting changes in the Israeli courts were recently described by
“senior legal scholars” as “Decline in Formalism, Increase in
Values”, alternatively - “Total Jungle in the Courts” - judges
who routinely ignore both the facts and the law. [8]
In short – widespread incompetence and/or corruption.
The
honoring of Mr Aharon Barak by “Ometz Movement” should be
cancelled, if Mr Barak refuses to answer the simple question: Under
whose authority were profound changes introduced in March 2002
in templates of all Supreme Court decision records, and what
was the legal foundation for such changes?
Truly,
Joseph
