Background
Avigail Haim filed a civil appeal against Hod Habira Projects Ltd. and 65 additional respondents in the Supreme Court of Israel. The published decision does not describe the underlying dispute, the judgment being appealed, or the grounds of appeal.
On October 27, 2026, Haim applied for exemption from paying the court fee and from depositing security in the appellate proceeding. The matter came before Registrar Moran Yahav.
The Court’s Holding
The registrar did not decide whether Haim qualified for either requested exemption. Instead, she authorized the respondents to submit responses to the application.
The respondents were given until November 17, 2026, to respond. The order therefore addressed only the briefing schedule and expressed no view on the merits of the appeal or the exemption request.
Key Takeaways
- The order concerns an application for exemption from both the appellate court fee and the requirement to deposit security.
- The Supreme Court did not grant or deny either exemption.
- The respondents may file their responses by November 17, 2026.
Why It Matters
The decision is a limited procedural order preserving the respondents’ opportunity to address whether the appellant should receive financial exemptions in the appeal. It establishes the next deadline but does not resolve the parties’ substantive rights or determine whether the appeal may proceed without payment and security.
