The Knesset responded to the High Court of Justice regarding the conditional order against Michael Ravilo's appointment as State Comptroller, arguing the petitions should be dismissed because no defect undermining the core of the process was found.
The Knesset's legal adviser filed a response to the High Court of Justice on Wednesday, arguing that the petitions against Michael Ravilo's appointment as State Comptroller should be dismissed. The position holds that the Knesset's secret-ballot vote is final unless a legal flaw that undermines the core of the process is proven — and that no such flaw exists.
The filing follows a series of responses submitted this week by the Prime Minister, the Likud party, and Ravilo himself, each arguing that canceling or rehearing the election would be an unprecedented legal remedy. The High Court issued a conditional order against the appointment on Monday, triggering the current round of arguments.
