The Supreme Court has ruled recently that a plaintiff requesting to withdraw a motion to certify a class action (that has not been settled or certified) will not be awarded a special reward and attorney’s fees, except in exceptional circumstances, in order to prevent frivolous claims. In its decision, the Supreme Court adopted the decision of the District Court, inter alia in a class action that was filed against the petroleum company Sonol, which was represented by Advs. Ran Sprinzak, Hadas Bekel and Gil Levkovitz of our firm. According to the said decision the special reward and attorney’s fees of the plaintiff were significantly reduced.
