In a recent decision by the Supreme Court, C.A. 2087/08 Orly Magen v. General Public Health Fund, the Supreme Court ruled whether common medical practice can be considered as negligence. This case has special significance in view of the fact that the said common medical practice was common in Israel while prohibited in other countries.
C.A. 140/00, 550/01 - Loss of Earnings for the "Lost Years"
According to the Israeli Supreme Court, once the claim of the living injured to damages for loss of earnings in the "lost years" is recognised as valid - also the right of the estate of the deceased to such damages should be recognised.
