As part of her position, she was involved in representation, the management of complex cases, organization-wide processes, in the formulation of legal positions, such as: the change of the “Yedidyah rule,” a 50-year-old rule according to which compensations for bodily injuries of the bankrupt, including calculated components such as loss of earning capacity, are not awarded to the trustee.

As part of Civil Appeal 6447/17, an appeal was filed by the official receiver, who was represented at the time by Itay Hess, director of the insolvency department at our firm, and Mazal, as part of the appeal, the rule was changed, and it was determined that a distinction must be made between the heads of “personal” damages awarded to the bankrupt party, in comparison to “pecuniary” damage heads such as compensation for loss of earning capacity, which are to be paid to the bankruptcy fund.
