High Court Ruling In 6948/19 Relies on "Proportionality" Rather Than
"Reasonableness" to Void Law
Dr. Aaron Lerner 22 July, 2023

For the "useful idiots" who have been convinced by the liars that passage of
a law limiting the application of "reasonableness" by the courts is
significant enough to close the country and cripple the IDF the Supreme
Court recently already cited "proportionality" instead of "reasonableness"
to void a law passed by the Knesset which it does not like.

This is a translation of the beginning of the official decision of the
Supreme Court

High Court 6942/19 Chavano v. Minister of the Interior and High Court
6948/19 Longjun v. Minister of the Interior

Date of issuing the verdict: 23 of Tammuz of the year 5783 (July 12, 2023)

Panel judges: President Hayut, Vice President Fogelman and judges Amit,
Solberg, Barak-Erez, Baron and Grosskopf.

The Supreme Court ruled today that the deduction arrangement under which all
social contributions deposited in favor of a foreign worker who worked in
Israel legally but did not leave Israel on time may be denied, violates the
constitutional right to property in a disproportionate manner. The court
ruled that the Knesset and the relevant ministers must formulate an
alternative arrangement within six months and as long as such an alternative
arrangement is not formulated, the deduction arrangement will be cancelled.
