Levin stonewalls the Judicial Selection Committee in defiance of the High Court

After the overhaul stalled, Levin for many months refused to convene the Judicial Selection Committee to fill Supreme Court vacancies — including the court presidency — seeking to leverage the appointments in his favour. The High Court of Justice ordered him to convene it, and his continued resistance became a running rule-of-law confrontation between an elected minister and the judiciary he sought to reshape.
