The track now called fast-track proceedings, preparation of documents and affidavits, and advance preparation for a claim and a defense.
What is a fast-track proceeding?
A fast-track proceeding, sometimes called a fast-track procedural route, is a dedicated track in the Magistrate’s Court for monetary claims up to a ceiling of 75,000 NIS, intended to resolve small-to-medium disputes in a short time: the pleadings are filed together with affidavits and all documents in advance ("all the cards on the table"), the hearing is concentrated, and the judgment is generally given within a short time after the end of the hearing, with concise reasoning. The track may be suitable for business debts, monetary tenancy disputes, property damage, and consumer claims, subject to the conditions of the regulations and exceptions; suitability for small claims is examined separately.
Advantages
The procedure is intended to focus the dispute and reduce procedural stages: documents and a verification affidavit are attached already to the pleadings, and the parties can prepare on the basis of a clearer factual foundation. The duration of the proceeding and the costs depend on the complexity of the case, service, evidence, and the court’s decisions; there is no commitment to completion within several months.
Early preparation and completion of evidence
Concentrating the material at the beginning of the proceeding requires early preparation: a verification affidavit, contracts, invoices, correspondence, and an expert opinion when required. Filing additional documents or evidence later is subject to the regulations and the court’s decisions, and is not automatic. A deficiency is not necessarily impossible to correct, but it may lead to delay, costs, or difficulty in proving a claim. Therefore, the necessary documents and witnesses should be identified in advance, and any deficiency should be explained as soon as possible.
