Last week the Supreme Court issued a precedential ruling on the conflicts of interest of decisive experts – the court ruled that intervention in an expert opinion will only be done in cases in which there is a real concern for bias, similar to the standards for disqualification of judges. The court added that the existence of a non-personal, professional relationship between an expert and representative lawyers does not constitute a real concern for bias, overturning the District Court ruling.
Adv. Zvi Bar-Nathan, Vice Chairman of the firm and Head of the Commercial and International Litigation Department, Adv. Merav Baruch, Vice Head of the department, and associate Ben Bloch of the department, represented the appellant in this case, alongside FWMK Law Offices.
