Which court hears a construction defects claim in Ramat Gan?

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

• Tel Aviv-Jaffa Magistrates' Court, 1 Weizmann St., Tel Aviv-Jaffa. Court registry public counters, including affidavit certification and apostille: Sun-Thu 08:30-13:30. Apostille at this building on Tue and Thu only. (source)
• Tel Aviv District Court, 1 Weizmann St., Tel Aviv-Jaffa. Registry public reception, including affidavit certification: Sun-Thu 08:30-13:30. Apostille on Sun, Mon and Wed only. (source)

Ramat Gan is in the Tel Aviv judicial district per the Judiciary's locality-by-district list (gov.il city-court collector).

How do you start?

Document the defects, send the contractor written notice, and commission an engineer's opinion when the contractor does not repair. You can check the building file in Ramat Gan on the website of the Ramat Gan Municipality's engineering department.
