TL;DRA bill to limit the legal fees that lawyers may charge victims of hostile acts in their claims to the National Insurance Institute.
Translated from Hebrew
What does the bill do?
The bill adds a new section to the National Insurance Law that applies to compensation claims by victims of hostile acts. The restriction provides that lawyers handling such claims will be able to charge legal fees at rates set in the law, similar to the existing restrictions for other National Insurance benefits. The explanatory notes state that the aim of the bill is to ensure that most of the compensation reaches the victims themselves, and also to avoid the legal confusion that occurred in the past when there was no such restriction on legal fees in similar claims.
