AP 727/06 - Nofal et al. v. The State of Israel - Minister of Interior Motion under the Contempt of Court Ordinance

HaMoked's request under the Contempt of Court Ordinance to force the Ministry of Interior to comply with the HCJ's judgment instructing a change to the "Procedure for Processing Applications for Israeli Residency Visas for Minors Born in Israel with Only One Parent Registered as a Permanent Resident of Israel". The request was submitted due to the Ministry's failure to change the procedure a year after the judgment. According to the judgment, the Ministry of Interior must legalize the residency or status of a child in Israel within six months of the submission of a request; must avoid ceasing the processing of a request for family unification due to the refusal of a family unification request of a different family member; and must announce in Arabic any requirement to renew a stay permit and receive a permit.
