• Israel Fruit Distribution Company vs. Kfar Saba Local Council – a compensation claim where the Court defined for the first time what makes up “reasonable” injury, beyond which the authorities must compensate the landowners.
• Har vs. Netanya Local Committee – an innovative ruling on the possibility of compensation because of a freeze through a program.
• Moshe Shoob vs Bnei Brak Local Planning and Building Committee – a decision passed by the District Appeals Committee within the framework of which the conditions under Articles 77 and 78 published by the Bnei Brak Local Planning and Building Committee condition the issuance of TAMA 38 building permits on the allocation of public space on the ground floor of the apartment buildings.
• Shalom Yerushalayim Divon et al. vs. Petah Tikva Local Planning and Construction Committee – the Supreme Court ruled in a supplementary hearing that the landowner who built an apartment and he or his relative lives in it for at least four years after completion of the construction will be entitled to an exemption from the payment of the improvement levy, regardless of the number of owners of that real estate that will ask to take advantage of this right.
• Tel Aviv Local Planning and Building Committee vs. Nof Yam Kahol – Lavan Ltd. – the Supreme Court ruled that any use exceeding the permit does not make up an independent tax event for which an improvement levy must be charged.
