We are proud to update you on another achievement for our firm, this time in the framework of a unified hearing of the National Labor Court regarding two appeals filed against rulings in two lawsuits filed against our clients \u2013 a company in the credit card industry and its controlling shareholder.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In the framework of two identical lawsuits filed with the Regional Labor Court in Tel Aviv, the plaintiffs claimed they were 'employees of the company' and demanded that our clients compensate them in the amount of approximately NIS 800,000, including the personal liability of the company's controlling shareholder.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The claim we raised, that in fact the plaintiffs are not employees of the company but rather partners of its controlling shareholder, and therefore are not entitled to any rights under labor law, was accepted in one lawsuit and rejected in the second, parallel lawsuit. Consequently, two appeals were filed, the hearings of which were consolidated.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
After receiving the exhibits, arguments, and references submitted on behalf of our clients, as well as hearing our arguments in a hearing with both parties present, the National Labor Court ruled unequivocally, accepting all our arguments on this matter, that no employer-employee relationship existed between the plaintiffs and our clients, and that there was no basis for the personal liability of the controlling shareholder in the company.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
