 | Product Liability 2009 - Israel
by: Avi Ordo
Getting the deal thruogh15/06/2009 | 1 What is the structure of the civil court system?
The Israeli legal system is originally based on common law, although a significant amount of legislation has been passed.
The general court system consists of magistrates’ courts, district courts and the Supreme Court in Jerusalem, which is the highest court in Israel. Judgments of the Supreme Court set precedents and are binding on all other courts.
Both the magistrates’ and district courts may serve as courts of first instance. The division between them (in civil cases) is generally based on the value of the subject matter of the case, with the district court being the higher court.
The Israeli court system also contains other specialised courts or tribunals. There is no specialised court or tribunal for product liability cases.

by: Keith Shaw and Clifford Davis
iflr1000.com | The Israeli laws of main relevance in this area are the Securities Law 1968 (“the Securities Law”), which regulates the offer of securities to the public in Israel, and the Investment Counselling and Portfolio Management Law 1995 (“the Investment Counselling Law”), which regulates the provision of investment counselling and investment portfolio management services. A third law, the Joint Investment Trust Law 1994, deals with the offer of units or shares in a fund to the public in Israel. These laws are administered by the Israel Securities Authority (“the ISA”).
