What if one of those Siam twins asked to go to the right while her sister asked to go left? Which side will the duo turn? What is the law if a contradiction is discovered between the bylaws and the sketch, between the verbal part of the plan and the visual part of it? Whose hand will have the upper hand? It seems to me that there is no definitive answer to the question and that the decision can be different from one matter to another. We are fortunate this time, and we do not need - in our case - to discuss the question further."
In other words, the Supreme Court ruled that the issue would be decided in accordance with the circumstances.
The issue is completely identical to the case at hand, the Tel Aviv District Court was required in Administrative Petition (Tel Aviv-Jaffa Administrations) 1775/07 Givatayim Local Planning and Building Committee v. Tel Aviv District Planning and Building Appeals Committee (October 29, 2007) (hereinafter: "the Local Committee Matter"). In that case, the question of what is the meaning of a building permit was discussed before the Honorable Justice Mudrik, whose verbal content describing the work does not correspond to the details of the work that arise from the permit drawing - i.e., which of the parts will be given priority. Judge Mudrik's ruling is that in such a case, the sketch will take precedence over the verbal description. This is when it was explained and explained as follows:
"... Even if you say that the verbal part of the 2001 permit application does not correspond to the drawing, in my opinion the sketch should be preferred. After all, the permit application and the permit are nothing more than an expression of the "dialogue" that takes place between the professionals, the planners, who prepare the permit application, and the planning institution (the licensing authority or the local committee) who issue the permit. This dialogue is not conducted in text. It is conducted according to sketched plans. The professional who examines the sketch will understand from it what the requested construction is, and the professional who wishes to act according to the permit granted will review the sketch in order to understand the nature of the permit. Text cannot by its very nature encompass all the details that the drawing reflects."
