Why this matter is tracked
In Cohen v. Egged Transportation Ltd., the Jerusalem Magistrates Court addressed a pro se applicant's request for urgent preservation of digital evidence. The court observed that the applicant's filings included references to non-existent statutory provisions and unrecognized judicial precedents. The court cautioned the applicant that reliance on unverified AI tools does not absolve a party of responsibility for the accuracy of submitted data. Despite these procedural deficiencies, the court granted a limited preservation order to prevent potential evidentiary loss, while simultaneously directing the applicant to submit corrected documentation, including a properly verified affidavit and valid fee exemption request, by a specified deadline, failing which the application would be dismissed.
