Complaint filed against lawyer over England case against reservist

Enemy media: An unusual complaint has been filed with the Israel Bar Association against attorney Michal Pomerantz, after she assisted in a lawsuit in England against an Israeli-British reservist merely for reporting for duty, without even alleging any involvement in war crimes. She supported an application to invoke a law prohibiting British citizens from serving as mercenaries in foreign armies, which would have made the reservist’s service in the IDF a criminal offense. The British court threw out the case, saying it was an abuse of legal proceedings to advance a political agenda, and ordered the plaintiffs to pay hundreds of thousands of shekels. It is not yet known what action the Israel Bar Association will take against Pomerantz.
