What happened
The Israeli Supreme Court ruled that a father who financed land purchased in his son's name cannot revoke the son's sale of the land to a third party. The court held that in parent-child cases, property registered to the child is presumed a gift, protecting third-party buyers acting in good faith. The father's lawsuit to cancel the sale was dismissed, and he was ordered to pay legal costs.
