(a) First, it is necessary to examine whether the claim falls within the scope of the Labor Court's substantive jurisdiction under section 24 of the Labor Court Law, while in the context of the jurisdiction by virtue of section 24(a)(1), the three-stage test that we discussed above and detached from section 93A of the Ordinance must be applied.
(b) Later, and to the extent that the answer to this is positive, it is necessary to further examine whether the matter has been excluded from the jurisdiction of the Tribunal by virtue of section 93A of the Police Ordinance. Section 93A actually affects the application of the second test in the framework of the three-stage test (to the extent that we are required to do so) when certain matters are found by virtue of it from the definition of a cause of action in an employment relationship. In accordance with the Supreme Court's ruling - which we will discuss below - it is possible to use as an auxiliary test in distinguishing between "clean" wage claims, which are under the jurisdiction of the Labor Court, and claims whose cause involves a decision in one of the matters listed in section 93A.
It should be emphasized that when the statement of claim has a number of grounds, then this test must be applied in relation to each cause of action separately. We will preface the latter and note that if, to the extent that an examination of the various causes of action according to the above two-stage test leads to different results in terms of substantive jurisdiction, then there is no choice but to split the claim. In other words, matters that fall within the substantive jurisdiction of the Labor Court - since the claim falls within the scope of section 24 of the Law and does not involve a decision on one of the matters listed in section 93A of the Ordinance - will be heard before it. Whereas, matters that are not within the jurisdiction of the Labor Court - since the decision in the action involves a decision on one of the matters listed in section 93A of the Ordinance - will be heard before the Court for Administrative Affairs.
