Second, the plaintiff lost most of the components of the monetary claim, since the original claim was in the sum of ILS 400,000, and the compensation awarded is ILS 18,780, i.e., about 4.7% of the amount claimed.
Third, the defendant won the promissory note claim that it filed, but the amount awarded, after deduction, is less than the amount it claimed.
Fourth, the case included the consolidation of two complex claims, and each party invested considerable resources in the proceeding.
Fifth, both sides acted unreasonably. The defendant for terminating the engagement without notice and with an illegal demand that constitutes a restrictive arrangement, and the plaintiff for filing an unjustified claim for an exorbitant sum and for an unreasonable period of 10 years.
Taking into account all of the above, and when balancing all the considerations, justice requires that each party bear its own expenses, except for the expense for half of the cost of the opinion as stated in section 67 above, which will be borne by the defendant.
The right to appeal to the Jerusalem District Court within 60 days from today.
Granted today, October 31, 2025, in the absence of the parties.
