Which court will deal with a financial plea filed by a company owned by a wife but managed by her husband, against him and another company he owns and runs, if legal proceedings exist between the couple at the family court ?
By: דיאנה שאלתיאל•Published on: 28 June, 2022According to a recent controversial decision of Kfar Saba Magistrates’ Court, the local District Court would have jurisdiction, because the grounds for the plea are based on the law relating to companies. It held that the family court would not have jurisdiction as a limited company did not fit in with the definition of “a person” or “family member” under the Family Courts’ Act of 1995.
