The Supreme Court defines the tests for dividend distribution

  • Print

In a landmark decision, the Supreme Court upheld the District Court’s ruling in a derivative lawsuit and established that the criteria for distributing dividends is limited to an analysis of the financial statements from the previous two years. The Court determined that there is no justification for extending the legal language to incorporate information about anticipated losses that are not reflected in the financial reports. Advocates David Hamo and Keshet Lebel acted on behalf of Dolphin Investments, which holds a controlling interest in IDB, in the appeal.
