Update on an important new decision of the Israeli Supreme Court

November 2022

In a recent judgment by the Israeli Supreme Court regarding service of documents to foreign companies, it was ruled that a foreign company with no activity in Israel cannot be served through its Israeli parent company.

The Supreme Court held that having mutual interests outside of Israel does not mean that the Israeli parent company serves as the foreign subsidiary’s representative with respect to matters in Israel. Therefore, if in such instance the foreign subsidiary has no activity in Israel, it cannot be served through its Israeli parent company.
