Ruling summary
A real-estate broker's claim for a brokerage fee over an agreement to purchase a property in the Emek Hefer industrial zone. The court dismissed the claim: the client never signed a written brokerage order as the Real Estate Brokers Law requires, and the plaintiff did not prove he was the effective cause of the transaction, the buyers having known the property beforehand and made clear they would not pay a brokerage fee. The plaintiff was ordered to pay costs of NIS 20,000. The firm represented the defendants. (Netanya Magistrates' Court, CC 56547-03-18, 22.10.2019)
