Neiman v. Military Governor of the Occupied Area of Jerusalem
Israel Supreme Court
HCJ 1/48 (1948)
- Written by Angela Patrick, JD
Facts
Herman Neiman (defendant) worked for the Israeli army’s corps of engineers for approximately two months under a special contract. Neiman was not a servicemember in the Israeli military and was not under any duty to enlist in the military. Neiman’s only connection to the military was through his work contract. While Neiman was working under that contract, he allegedly assaulted a member of the army. Approximately one month after Neiman stopped working for the army, military authorities (plaintiffs) filed charges against Neiman in a military court for the alleged assault. Neiman filed a challenge in the Israel Supreme Court, arguing that the military court lacked personal jurisdiction over him.
