An infrastructure contractor that won a tender to extend the Mavki’im moshav for the resettlement of Gush Katif evacuees sued the Hof Ashkelon Regional Council, inter alia for protracting the project beyond the time prescribed in the contract and also for tools that stood idle on site. The court dismissed the defendant’s plea that the project was protracted because of the plaintiff’s acts and omissions and held that the Regional Council should pay the company compensation of NIS 1,254,511. For the tools that stood idle the court awarded further compensation of NIS 146,625 after the plaintiff had proven that it was the defendant’s conduct that had caused them to be idle.
The plaintiff was represented by Ivtsan-Netzer-Wolecki & Co.
