Request to inspect and to copy (English translation)

July 7, 2011

Request to inspect and to copy (Hebrew original)

The attached Hebrew record was filed with the Clerk of the Supreme Court of Israel on July 7, 2011.
Dr Zernik was not permitted access to the records on the same date, and was told that he would be informed
regarding his right to access the records on an unspecified future date.
Notes:
1) None of the requested records is posted on the online public access system of the Supreme Court of
Israel as a signed, valid court record.
2) The case of Bank Ha-Poalim v Finkelstein, a civil case, was selected at random, as a case involving
an individual against a financial institution.
3) The case of Katzav v State of Israel, a criminal case, was selected since it involved a former
government official.
