***The Magistrate's Court of Beit Shemesh recently handed down a decision instructing the Customs Authority to transfer to an import, a client of our office, goods that were seized by the Customs Authority (in the framework of “small shipment protocol”) claiming that they violated intellectual property rights. We will note, even before the decision was given, the Customs Authority admitted that these were not violating goods and allowed the importer to release them.

***Our office represented an Israeli international forwarder who was sued by a foreign international forwarder to pay monetary compensation of hundreds of thousands of shekel, claiming end of connection between the sides without prior notice. The Israeli international forwarder filed a counter-suit, and even received a decision ordering the foreign forwarder to deposit a guarantee to cover the Israeli forwarder's expenses. In the end, the sides reached a settlement arrangement under which the Israeli forwarder was not required to pay any compensation to the foreign forwarder.
