Which court hears a construction defects claim in Ashdod?

Under regulation 7(a) of the Civil Procedure Regulations, 2018, the claim is filed in the court for the area of the defendant's residence or place of business, or of the act or omission on which the claim is based. If the sale contract contains a jurisdiction clause, check it, because a claim is filed in the court the parties agreed on.

Where there are several defendants, the claim can be filed in a court that has jurisdiction over one of them (regulation 7(c)). The amount claimed determines whether the case is heard in the Magistrates' Court or the District Court.

The courts in the district
