Which court hears a construction defects claim in Kiryat Ono?

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.
