Extract

The following is a survey of major judgments of the Supreme Court of Israel published in (1986) 40 Piskei Din, vols. (i) and (ii), directly following upon our last digest, which appeared in (1987) 22 Is.L.R. 219.

One central decision published in the volumes presently reviewed, that of Zeitsov v. Katz (1986) 40(ii) P.D. 85, has not been included in this survey. The decision concerns the suit of a child born with a genetic disease, against a doctor whose allegedly negligent diagnosis led to the child's conception. This case has been discussed at length in an article which appeared previously in the Israel Law Review, and to which our readers are referred.

Mutas and another (1980) 34(iii) P.D. 551, in which a woman cared for her sister after an accident, devoting time and providing her with various services. The woman was held to be a repairor. She did not sue the tortfeasor for recovery; from her behaviour and from her voluntary care without expectation of restitution, it was possible to conclude that the woman had assigned her right of resitution to her injured sister.
