Civil Litigation – “What Is the Cost of Justice? Reflections of a Litigator on Legal Costs as an Indicator of the Structure of Civil Procedure“. Calcalist, 8.5.2025.
Article abstract: The normative framework in Israel recognizes the importance of realistic cost reimbursement, yet its practical implementation is still evolving. When awarded costs fail to reflect the actual investment in the legal process, values such as accessibility, procedural equality, and public trust in the judicial system may be undermined. In an article authored by Advocate Orly Tenennbaum and published in Calcalist, Advocate Tenennbaum examines the role of cost awards in civil litigation, their contribution to the efficient regulation of proceedings, and the means to bridge the gap between legislative intent and judicial practice.
