9 In a recent case (Agai—see supra n. 7) the applicant combined two innovations: he applied to the High Court instead of to the ordinary courts and asked for an order declaratory of his alleged right; but his application suffered the same fate as the others. On the other hand, in Simhi v. Civil Service Commissioner ((1968) (I) 22 P.D. 673) one of the reasons for acceding to the matter in the High Court of Justice was the chance of giving the petitioners relief equivalent to an injunction.
