Abstract

On 12 September 1996, the Supreme Court of Israel delivered judgment in the Further hearing of the petition filed by Ruthi Nachmani against her husband Daniel Nachmani. The Nachmani judgment furnished a remarkable example of the subjectivity which underlies the perception of justice. This essay provides a fascinating record of how judges approaching the same issues from different perspectives, reach opposite legal conclusions.

Keywords: Law and Justice, justice and adjudication, perception justice, principles of justice, principles of adjudication
