The federal government is looking to encourage private participation in the electricity sector, particularly in power generation, and the lack of public resources to cope with demand has become one of the leading drivers for structural reform. Among other things, private involvement requires an understanding of the regulatory landscape and the fields of generation, transmission and distribution.
The Haifa District Court has ruled that an insurer which failed to pay insurance benefits on time may be obliged to compensate the insured for the damage suffered as a result of the delay. The ruling necessitates a review of declination procedures and requires insurers to consider, before declining coverage, whether the declination is well founded.
