This morning, the Chairperson of the Constitution Committee, Member of Knesset Simcha Rothman, filed an appeal against the decision of Supreme Court President Esther Hayut not to disqualify herself from participating in the panel of justices hearing appeals regarding the law to reduce the Clause of Reasonability.
In the opening of Rothman's appeal, it is written: "The honorable court is requested to accept the appeal and declare the disqualification of Mrs. Esther Hayut from participating in the deliberations on the matter titled 'Basic Law: The Judiciary (Amendment No. 4)'. The appellant will argue that there is a significant concern of bias and harm to the appearance of justice, preventing Mrs. Esther Hayut from participating in the deliberations on the legality of the amendment to the law, and according to the law, she should have disqualified herself from participating in the case."
