HCJ 2732/05 Head of the ‘Azzun City Council et al. v. Government of Israel et al. decision

HCJ decision in the application under the contempt of court ordinance filed by HaMoked against the state’s delaying implementation of the three-year-old judgment which found the route of the separation wall in the vicinity of ‘Azzun and An Nabi Elyas was unlawful and therefore null and void. The court severely criticizes the state’s conduct in the case and finds that such conduct, which indicates the state treats the court’s judgments as mere recommendations, is unacceptable. The court, therefore, charged the state with the petitioners’ expenses to the sum of 20,000 NIS.
