Adv. Zohar Haim Levinger and Adv. Anna Elenport from our Litigation Department represented Azorim in proceedings featured in Globes’ “Three Cases of the Week” column, in which the District Court dismissed a motion to certify a class action against the company.

The Court held that reasonable technical requirements for completing the registration process, including the submission of a municipal tax clearance certificate, do not constitute a violation of the Sale Law.
