In clause 10 of the draft, it was noted that "in the event that Doron does not continue to work on the project for any reason for at least 36 months from the signing of this agreement, then all the new terms in addition to this agreement, including the change in percentages and expense calculations, will be retroactively cancelled so that the terms of the original agreement will apply."
Other Developments
- In 2014, the parties negotiated accounts forthe 2013 operation, and in general. They reached an agreement that a bonus company should pay Mr. Zaruk the sum of ILS 150, 000. However, in the end, the payment was not transferred, since according to the company, the advances paid in respect of 2014 exceeded the profits received in respect of the cases that Mr. Zarrouk handled in 2013, so that Mr. Zarrouk should have returned the company the sum of ILS 177, 000. This sum was collected by it by way of an offset (see paragraph 90 of Mr. Goldian's second affidavit).
The negotiations continued but did not lead to agreements. According to Mr. Zaruk, an attempt was made to prevent him from receiving the payments to which he was entitled. Mr. Goldian, on the other hand, raised claims regarding the nature of Mr. Zaruk's work, according to which he arrived late for work; that his investment in the study of law at the time came at the expense of his work; that he mismanaged the staff; In general, his functioning was problematic. Mr. Zaruk, on the other hand, claimed that all of these were pretexts to avoid the payments due to him. According to him, he even learned that Mr. Goldian was looking for a replacement.
- At the end of the day, Mr. Zaruk terminated the engagement with Bonus Company in November 2015, so the prohibition of competition in accordance with the agreement is supposed to be valid until November 2018.
At this stage, Mr. Zaruk operated through the company he owned, Me-Ad Engineering and Investments Ltd. (Defendant Counter 2; hereinafter: Me-Ad). At the beginning of 2016, a relationship was established between Mr. Zaruk and the law firm of Weinberger Bartenthal & Co. (hereinafter: the Weinberger Law Firm or the Firm), which is known to provide services to many municipal authorities, and whose expertise is in this field. Mr. Zarrouk began working with the firm a few months later. It was decided to try to integrate him into the firm's activities in the field of municipal taxation, and to allow him to specialize in it after completing his law studies (in October 2016).
