Retail, Banking & Insurance

By: Adv. Eli Shimony

For many clients, Eli Shimony Israeli Law Office, class actions go beyond the context of law and justice. Class actions are expressions of a fault or defect in the relationship between supplier and customer, employer and employee, authority and citizen. The class action allows the plaintiff to warn against unreasonable pricing policy, harm to employee rights or the principle of equal employment, arbitrary contractual engagement terms, and more;

However, the Israeli Class Action Law in itself consists of a defined list of causes, only by virtue of which it is possible to approve a class action. Our professional team will examine whether your case can be filed as a class action. On the other hand –on the defense side – any business in any field is exposed to class actions – not only large companies and corporations. Your best strategy of defense against class actions is prevention. The cause of the next potential claim is probably found in your current engagement contracts.

For insurance companies and provident funds, the cause of claim may deal with the insurance contract or the fund’s articles of association. In banking corporations, the cause may lie in commission agreements and the manner of approval by the client. Retail businesses may be sued in cases where their product return policy is non-compliant with the law, or, as is often the case, due to the failure to disclose crucial information such as product components on the product label. Eli Shimony Israeli Law Office will review for you your contractual system with your clients and will minimize risks of collective damage in a scope that could justify a class action.
