In fact, a significant portion of the requests and "notices" submitted by the plaintiffs in various aspects did not serve to advance the proceeding. From time to time, the court was forced to resort to requests that could have been made redundant if the plaintiffs had acted properly. The right of the litigant to make use of the legal process is not unlimited. The fact that he has the power to file applications does not mean that he has the right to take advantage of it improperly. The role of the court is to decide substantive disputes and not to resort to a multitude of frivolous requests.
And more. In the midst of the evidentiary hearings, on February 20.24. The plaintiffs filed a motion to amend the amount of the claim in relation to plaintiff 2. This request was rejected in my decision of March 3, 2024 (see also the decision of February 20, 2024; see also another decision of February 22, 2024 to reject most of the plaintiffs' request to submit additional documents). The plaintiffs' request to attach an agreement known as "Azriel-Goren", in the midst of the evidentiary hearings, was also rejected in my decision of March 11, 2024. See also the plaintiffs' request of 26 March 2024 to testify once again about the transfer of the hearing venue to the Jerusalem Land Authority, and then the notice they filed on 28 March 2024 to withdraw this request, against the background of my decision of 26 March 2024. It is also worth referring to my decision of May 17, 2024, in which I rejected the plaintiffs' request to delete "lines from the minutes" and to attach two additional letters later.
The above detail does not reflect the plaintiffs' full course of action in the framework of the present proceeding, but it does indicate unusual procedural conduct. To this must be added the fact that on many occasions the plaintiff's counsel lashed out at the defendant with defamatory statements and insinuations against the transfer of the Goren hearing venue, in an attempt to destabilize him, sometimes without connection to the legal proceeding. In the meantime, counsel for the plaintiffs frequently mentioned the complaints that were submitted to the Israel Police and the tax authorities in the matter of the transfer of the Goren venue, even though it often had no legal value at the time, while dragging unnecessary reactions on the part of the relocation of the Goren venue.
