Florida Israel: Recovery of Half the Damages on Appeal

Yoav Hertman represented Florida Israel and its director on appeal, obtaining repayment of half the damages awarded to the purchaser and an agreement limiting the outcome to the individual case.

Taking Over the Appeal

The firm took over representation of Florida Israel Luxury Towers and Keinan Bar-Oz after a judgment ordering the repurchase of two Florida plots and payment of damages.

The Appeal Outcome

On appeal to the Central–Lod District Court (CA 68595-04-26), after the repurchase had taken place, the contributory fault component was submitted for a compromise determination under section 79A. The court ordered the purchaser to repay half of the damages awarded at first instance to the clients.

Scope of the Outcome

The judgment recorded an agreement that the outcome was confined to this case and that any claim by another purchaser would be considered on its own facts and circumstances.
