Cancellation application

The application presented the child's urgent medical need, travel details, the mother's required presence, and proposed safeguards.

Medical need and collection interests

The request balanced an immediate health and family need against creditor protection and assurance of return.

Registrar's decision

Registrar Vered Avivi ordered temporary cancellation of the restrictions on conditions suited to the trip.

Practical result

The debtor was able to accompany her minor child abroad for the emergency operation.

Legal significance

An urgent, documented, narrowly framed application can permit proportionate relief without abandoning enforcement interests.
