Construction defects lawyer in Holon

Did you receive a new apartment in Holon and find damp, cracks, defective flooring or defects in the common property? The office handles construction defect cases against contractors and developers, and meetings are held at the office in Ness Ziona or elsewhere by prior arrangement.

In brief: document every defect, notify the seller in writing, give it a fair opportunity to repair (section 4B of the Sale (Apartments) Law) and check the inspection and warranty periods (section 4 and the Schedule). A monetary claim is, as a rule, time-barred after seven years (section 5(1) of the Prescription Law), counted from delivery of the apartment (section 6, and LCA 830/06 Gelman v. Cohen Development-Dra'ad). For a latent defect, time may start on the day of discovery (section 8), and the period from 7 October 2023 to 6 April 2024 is not counted (section 15A).

Where are new apartments being handed over in Holon?

Which court hears a construction defects claim in Holon?

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.
