In short: there are two ways to sue a business. In an ordinary consumer claim you sue in your own name only, for example over misleading advertising (section 2(a) of the Consumer Protection Law, 5741-1981). A class action is a claim that one person files on behalf of everyone harmed by the same conduct. An example is a charge collected from many customers without their consent. It can be filed only in a matter listed in the Second Schedule to the Class Actions Law, 5766-2006 (section 3(a)). An example is a claim against a dealer in connection with a matter between it and a customer. It is filed as a certification motion, and the court certifies it only if all the conditions in section 8(a) are met. No outcome and no length of proceedings can be promised in advance.

A personal consumer claim: what happened to you?

One person against one business: a car, an event hall, a delivery, a garage? Choose the situation closest to yours, and you will find what the law says and what the first step is.

Has your business received a motion to certify a class action? The first days and your defense.

A small claim without a lawyer at the hearing? I prepare the statement of claim or the statement of defense with you

In the Small Claims Court, each party appears for themselves. A lawyer may represent a party there only with the court’s permission and for special reasons (section 63(a) of the Courts Law [Consolidated Version], 5744-1984). You can prepare the pleading with me in advance.

  • What I do: I go over what happened and the documents with you. Then I draft the statement of claim: the facts, the amount you are claiming and the cause of action under the law. Or I draft the statement of defense: an answer to each allegation, and your defenses under the law.
  • What stays with you: you file and appear at the hearing yourself. The statement of claim or defense will say that it was drafted with the help of a lawyer who does not file it and does not represent you in the proceedings (as set out by the Tel Aviv District ethics committee of the Israel Bar). The work on the draft is in Hebrew or English, and the draft itself is written in Hebrew. Source: the Ethics Committee, Tel Aviv District, decision 90483
  • Who it suits: an individual claiming up to NIS 39,900, the small claims ceiling as of 1 January 2026 (section 60(a) of the Law). Examples are claims against an event hall, a garage, a car importer or a delivery company. It also suits anyone who has had a small claim filed against them.
