My mother-in-law filed legal proceedings to evict us from her apartment. We argue that she promised us this apartment. We have a recording of a conversation between her and our minor daughter that proves our claim is true. Will we be allowed to present it in Court as evidence?
By: דיאנה שאלתיאל•Published on: 20 February, 2025Yes! The District Court on December 24th 2024, in leave of appeal (Case # 16554-09-24), ruled in a similar case, to allow the use of a recording between a grandmother and her minor grandchild, and overturned a previous decision by The family Court on this question. The District Court found that since the child’s testimony and affidavit at The Family Court were not required, then her welfare has been preserved (not to be involved in the parties’ conflict). Consequently, the District Court ruled that filing the recording and transcript of the conversation between the grandmother and the child, at The Family Court, would not involve the minor child in the conflict, and therefore allowed it.
