We received a client after she was ordered in a ruling to pay her ex-husband a sum of over NIS 450,000 as compensation for declining to complete the divorce process. After a look at the ruling and a check of other subjects relevant to the couple, we appealed against the ruling at the District Court.
At the court, we claimed that the problem was disproportionate amounts regarding the court’s ruling, while we outlined to the court a long list of rulings that were relevant and a presentation of studies on the subject. As well, our claims were accepted that in this case there was room to consider leniency because of the special circumstances. As stated, the District Court granted the appeal and reduced over NIS 300,000 from the compensation amount.
