The administration of the courts did not respond within the time allowed by the law to the requests for freedom of information submitted to it - according to a petition submitted late last week by the movement for freedom of information.
These are freedom of information requests that deal with details regarding the list of open cases that have been waiting for a verdict for over six months with the judges of the court administration.
The requests were submitted in August at the end of last year and since then the court administration has requested several extensions, but these exceeded the time limit set by law for receiving information from a public authority.

According to the Freedom of Information Law, a public authority must provide information within 30 days from the date of submission of the request.
According to the law, the public authority can request an extension of up to 120 days, but in this case it is six months that have passed since the application was submitted.
It should be noted that the judicial authority requested extensions, but these exceeded the time limit in the law.
The last answer on the subject was given by the judicial authority on January 25, which stated that it would provide the information within 15 days, but since then about a month has passed and the information has not yet been provided.
