We are proud to announce another achievement of Ivri, Karner & Co., this time in the framework of a petition that was discussed in the High Court of Justice.
Our firm represented the NILI Cooperative Association in a petition filed against it by several of the association's members, including us. The petition aimed to cancel the results of a lottery in which the winners were granted the right to purchase homes in a new neighborhood being built in the community at a significant discount.
The petitioners attacked the Committee's decisions and conduct, which was appointed by the Association to manage the process, and in particular requested to order the cancellation of the decision, according to which they are prevented from participating in the lottery, as they do not meet the criteria set for this purpose.
The petitioners further claimed that the criteria set by the General Assembly of the Association as a condition for participation in the lottery should be disqualified, and that the Committee's decision regarding them was tainted by discrimination and extraneous considerations.
After we submitted a detailed response, and within the framework of a discussion that took place this week, the Supreme Court fully accepted our position and ruled that the petition should be dismissed on its merits.
Accordingly, and on the recommendation of the panel of judges that heard the case, the petitioners were compelled to withdraw the petition, and it was dismissed on the merits..
