Supreme Court Chief Justice Esther Hayut argued in a landmark hearing of challenges to key components of the government's push to overhaul the judiciary Tuesday that revoking the reasonableness clause goes against the global trend.
“Here, we are moving toward a trend of canceling [it],” she says, citing England and Australia as examples of countries that have increasingly used the doctrine.
Knesset lawyer Yitzhak Bart replied, “We had a big change 40 years ago and since then the pendulum has been swinging.”
