Legal framework
Procedure, affidavits and lawyers' duties
Good faith in proceedings
The Civil Procedure Regulations, 5779-2018 (regulations 3 and 4) require parties and their counsel to conduct proceedings in good faith and fairly, and the court may sanction abuse of procedure.
Affidavits
Under section 15 of the Evidence Ordinance [New Version], 5731-1971, an affidavit is made before a lawyer or judge, who must first warn the declarant to tell the truth and that a false statement is punishable. The lawyer attests that the declarant signed before them.
Enforcement proceedings
Proceedings under the Execution Law, 5727-1967 are conducted before a registrar of the Enforcement and Collection Authority. Before most enforcement steps the debtor must be served with a warning, and disputes about service are decided by the registrar.
Lawyers' discipline
Section 61 of the Israel Bar Association Law, 5721-1961 defines disciplinary offences, including conduct unbecoming the legal profession. The Bar's district ethics committees examine complaints, and the Professional Ethics Rules, 5746-1986 add specific duties.
