A mother and daughter who sued Arkia Airlines after a flight cancellation were initially awarded compensation by the Small Claims Court. However, the airline appealed the decision. The District Court subsequently ruled that the compensation was granted based on a legal claim not originally presented in the passengers' lawsuit.
The District Court's decision highlighted that the initial ruling was based on a cause of action that was not raised by the plaintiffs in their original claim. This led to the reversal or modification of the compensation awarded. The case underscores the importance of clearly defining the legal grounds for a claim in court proceedings.
