A court in Israel has further delayed the extradition of a former Melbourne school principal accused of sexually assaulting her pupils.

Key points:

* Victoria Police have charged the former principal of the Adass Israel School with 74 counts of child sexual assault

* The latest court decision follows dozens of prior psychiatric assessments

* One of Malka Leifer's alleged victims described the judge's decision as a great disappointment

The Jerusalem District Court has ordered an expert panel of psychiatrists to assess Malka Leifer to see if she is mentally fit to be extradited to Australia.
