Supreme Court candidate Khaled Kabub failed to divulge friendship with his lawyer

A joint investigation by Shomrim and Calcalist: One of the candidates for a seat on the Supreme Court – Khaled Kabub – has been friends with attorney Zvika Bar-Nathan since their student days. Recently, Bar-Nathan represented Kabub in the so-called Bramley Affair, and also spoke on Kabub’s behalf on Channel 13’s “The Source.” Nonetheless, Bar-Nathan’s name does not appear on the Kabub’s recusal list. Moreover, the would-be justice is currently hearing several cases involving lawyers from Goldfarb, Seligman and Co., where Bar-Nathan is vice chairman – without providing the sides with due disclosure and in violation of norms and precedents. Kabub’s response: “Hundreds of lawyers work at Goldfarb, Seligman and Co. whom the judge does not know personally and has no relations with. The judge does not see any reason not to hear cases involving that office.” A joint Shomrim-Calcalist investigation.
