Prohibition of Discrimination in Products, Services and Entry into Places of Entertainment and Public Places Law (Amendment – Increasing the Compensation Amount without Proof of Damage) Bill

Translated from Hebrew: הצעת חוק איסור הפליה במוצרים, בשירותים ובכניסה למקומות בידור ולמקומות ציבוריים (תיקון - הגדלת סכום הפיצוי בלא הוכחת נזק)

TL;DRA proposal to raise the maximum compensation without proof of damage in discrimination claims from NIS 50,000 to about NIS 120,000.

Translated from Hebrew

What does the bill do?

The proposal amends Section 5(b) of the Prohibition of Discrimination in Products, Services and Entry into Places of Entertainment and Public Places Law (5761-2000), raising the maximum amount the court may award as compensation without proof of damage for discrimination. The proposal is based on the rationale that discrimination itself causes damage that is hard to prove, and is similar to previous amendments in laws regarding sexual harassment and equal employment opportunities.
