In the courts of some nations, the court files include a "Docket" or "Register" that lists the records entered in the court file during the litigation. In some nations, such a Docket or a Register is established by law as the official record of litigation. That is to say, the litigation was based on the records listed in the docket or register. 

  

A Competent Court of Record is a judicial body that possesses proper subject-matter and territorial jurisdiction (competence) over a given cause, whose acts and judicial proceedings are enrolled in an official, permanent record intended to serve as perpetual memory and conclusive evidence of its judgments.

The Israeli courts' CMS (case management system) Net HaMishpat, which was developed "with no representation of the public interest" [State Ombudsman Report 60b, 2010], has no formal Docket or Register of Actions. The system, in general, is short on formal definitions or established rules for its management and maintenance. 

There are several lists of records in a typical Net-HaMishpat court file, e.g., "Paper File," "Entering Records," "Requests and Instructions," "Post-judgment Requests," "Pleadings," "Judgments," etc. Combined, the "Requests and Instructions" and "Post-judgment Requests" are typically treated as an informal Docket or Register of Actions.

Net HaMishpat is also distinguished by the absence of a User's Manual for a system that has been in service for over 15 years and whose development cost has likely surpassed NIS 1 billion (in current currency). The absence of a User's Manual is unlikely to be the result of an oversight or human error. It is more likely related to the need to avoid written definitions and explanations.

For example, a Docket or Register of Actions typically wouldn't list drafts of judicial records, only the signed, valid record. As separately described, Net HaMishpat records are electronic records signed with invisible, undetectable electronic signatures that only judges can detect. At the same time, the electronic signatures presented in Net HaMishpat records are patently invalid (see a separate Appendix).

At the same time, in the absence of rules, judges may execute various transactions in the "Requests and Instructions" and "Post-judgment Requests".

The example below is from Estate File 11650-06-24 in the Haifa Family Court. The figures below show the "Requests and Instructions" and "Post-judgment Requests" - combined, around 25% of the numbered items on the Register of Actions are hidden, not accessible to the litigant.  

The visibility of the numbered items on the Register is not that stable either. Some records may disappear with no notice, request, or decision.

When requests were filed seeking explanations, Judge Hila Gurevitz issued decisions stating that the computer jumped numbers from time to time... She also called upon Deputy Clerk Keren Peles to support that explanation. Eventually, she issued a decision: You see what you are supposed to see.
