  • Print

Complicated calculation – no longer an excuse.
In a precedent decision the High Court of Justice overturned the National Labor Court’s decision in regard to Castro employees’ motion to certify a class action against Castro.

Adv. Galit Golan Rotem explains the extensive implications of this precedent ruling.
