Summary
The Israeli Class Action Law, 2006 (hereinafter the Law or the Class Action Law) brought about dramatic changes in the adjudication of class action lawsuits in Israel. If the number of cases filed is a parameter of success, this law is clearly a phenomenal success: the number of plaintiffs requesting to certify a claim as a class action suit is on a continuous upward trend and far exceeds the general trend in civil lawsuits filed, which has remained relatively stable during the same time period. In 2007, one year after the law was enacted, 28 motions were filed to certify class action suits, in 2010 this number rose to 335, in 2012, 820, and in 2018, 1,250.
